What’s on the Grill

Gearing up to grill my first tuna steaks…the pit is hot, and the tuna is marinated…

I gave up trying to grill tuna. Could never get a good sear on it. I’m sure it was my technique. These day I just get the cast iron skillet smoking hot. Couple minutes on side one. Maybe 90 seconds on side two. And I time it. Always a perfect rare as good tuna should be.

That’s what I love about the Breeo firepit rig. With a decent coal base and a couple of splits burning in their prime, that rig will throw out a column of heat that runs around 1100°F. Kinda like slapping a grill grate on a fully lit, lump charcoal loaded, charcoal chimney lighter. The only way I like cooking a ribeye, these days, is on the Breeo. So thankful to have one.

Oddly…. And never thought I’d say this….. I think the best tuna I’ve had was a Poke Bowl I had on Maui. And then later made it myself at home. Soy sauce based marinade…. For 15 minutes and no more than an hour. Then served uncooked over a bed of rice with fresh veggies. When I did it at home, bought some fresh tuna from a local fish market. (North East Illinois, so not as fresh as right out of the ocean… but light years better than a grocery store). Served it over the rice. Veggies were sliced radishes. Carrots. Zucchini. Avocado. I know not grilled. But it’s really good.

I know that’s not “sushi”, but…


I sure could go for some sushis and sashimi.
 
My idea of good sushi is California rolls. I did however eat some questionable stuff when I was in Korea, one of which was fresh uncooked octopus that was still moving and grabbing at my throat on the way down. I went on a deep sea fishing trip with some of the Korean guys I worked with and tried several things I would never dream of trying again. We couldn't keep up, they ate all our bait, I'll never forget that.
 
Thought this was appropriate for this thread.

Have not tried halibut at home. Overall. Not a big fan of Cod. Been doing some Mahi Mahi. Different ways. Did fish tacos last week with Mahi Mahi.
Two Mahi Mahi fillets cut to make fish sticks then battered and fried. Two per tortilla shell. Topped with a slightly spicy slaw and pickled red onion. Yum city. In the past I have done grilled Mahi for the fish tacos. Fried was way better.

...... and a fish taco seems to suggest a Mai Tia as my adult beverage of choice.
