I have made this once before - the first time we had tuna steaks. Very simple, yet very flavorful. I will be making this again tomorrow. We love it. I just throw the steaks on our gas grill and they come out perfect. I also add a little garlic powder when I am seasoning with salt and pepper. Very yummy. There are never any leftovers. - 21 Mar 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
We really enjoyed this recipe. The left overs were used to make the most wonderful tuna salad I've ever eaten. - 09 Apr 2000 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Delicious. Hubby came home from Seattle with a ton of tuna and I needed some ideas on what to do with this. We loved this recipe. It was so moist and flavorful. Thanks for the post. - 17 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
