Grilled Mediterranean Ahi Tuna

Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin) Steaks Grilled with a Mediterranean Flair. Yellowfin Tuna or Ahi Tuna is usually served either Raw, as in sushi or Seared. or Grilled. When I first had this tuna grilled in spain with olive oil and salt I couldn't believe it was fish at all. This recipe is a bit of a cross between seared italian style and Spanish grilled.

How much olive oil? There's a typo in the recipe so you can't tell what it was supposed to say. I will probably use 2-3 tablespoons. It sounds delicious and we're going to try it tomorrow for dinner, but we'll use large sized frozen shrimp. - 8/29/09

The original recipe calls for 1 TBS of olive oil. That is what I used. Sorry about the typo.
