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.

I hate cottage sheese but I LOVE this recipe. You cannot taste the cottage cheese (prob because the tuna is very flavorful). It is easy to throw together and take to work with you. Again, I hate cottage chz and have had this for luch five times in the last two weeks - 1/29/11

The flavor of the tuna was greatly diminished by the addition of so much cottage cheese, even with salt, pepper, and curry powder. I will try it again, but I think I'll add a hard-boiled egg. It's not horrible, but I wasn't wowed. - 9/26/12
