Ingredients

Lemon Pepper Butter:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Tuna:

  • Nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray
  • 8 slices your favorite bread
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 (6 to 8-ounce) 1-inch thick tuna steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Caramelized Lemon Slices, for garnish, recipe follows

Directions

For the lemon pepper butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, and garlic powder, stirring until smooth. Cover and chill.

For the tuna: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 350 degrees F. Spray the grill rack with nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray.

Brush the bread slices evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill the bread until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Brush the tuna evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle each steak evenly with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until desired degree of doneness. Place each tuna steak over 1 slice grilled bread. Top each tuna steak with desired amount of lemon pepper butter. Garnish with Caramelized Lemon Slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

Caramelized Lemons:

  • Lemons
  • Sugar

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Slice the lemons. Dip the cut side down into a bowl of sugar. Place on the grill, cut-side down, and grill until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Very nice! Bought 2 beautiful ahi tuna steaks from Costco. Just S & P and some meyer lemon olive oil. Husband likes his tuna well done (so wrong, I know but he loved this simple recipe and the salad and artichokes too. A very nice meal. The last reviewer had troubles with timing...grill the raddichio early and let it cool down, same with the artichokes. Grill the tuna last and you won't have any timing issues. The grilled lemons were a nice touch!
    Paula, another wonderful meal. Love you and your family! Congratulations on your new grandson, Matthew! God's gift...
