Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 fresh sushi-grade tuna steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 ripe mangoes, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for marinating and grilling
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango salsa: Finely dice the mangoes, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. In a bowl, toss them with chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes. Let the salsa sit while preparing the tuna to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Marinate the tuna steaks: Brush each tuna steak with olive oil on both sides and season generously with salt and pepper. This enhances the natural flavor and prevents sticking during grilling.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the grates to ensure even cooking and clear grill marks on the tuna.
  4. Grill the tuna: Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on their thickness. Avoid overcooking to keep the tuna moist and pink inside.
  5. Plate and serve: Transfer the grilled tuna steaks to serving plates and spoon a generous amount of mango salsa over each steak. Serve immediately for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality, sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook tuna; medium-rare is ideal for juiciness.
  • Prepare mango salsa ahead of time to let the flavors intensify.
  • Use a hot grill to quickly sear tuna and prevent drying out.
  • Allow the tuna to rest briefly after grilling to let juices redistribute.
