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 loved this recipe. It is now on my list of "keepers". I did substitute clam base/stock for the chicken stock, substituted low fat sour cream for the half and half, and omitted the onions. Directions are clear and easy to follow. Drizzling the lime butter over vegetables was also good. - 2/23/11

Delicious! I used 1/2 cup old-fashioned grits since I didn't have any quick-cooking grits on hand. I also cooked the shrimp in the chicken stock for about 30 seconds before they went into the skillet. It was a creamy and flavorful dinner. Will definitely make it again! - 3/1/11

Delicious dish. We just made this tonight for dinner and both my husband and I loved it. I used chives instead of the green onion for a milder flavor. The lime butter was wonderful. Will make this again! - 6/3/12

Absolutely delicious, I loved it. Didn't think it would work together but does. The only thing I didn't do was add the lime. - 5/31/11
