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.

Maybe I did something wrong but this was not that good. Too bland, not enough spices or cheese flavor and made way too much. (More like 16 servings it seemed). My husband and I liked it OK, my kids did not like it. Won't make again unless I modify it in some way. - 4/28/09
