Blackened Bourbon-aki Tuna

Yield: 1 servings

Ingredients

6 oz tuna steak
2 tbsp Cattleman’s Grill Blackening Seasoning
1 tbsp Saica Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Kim’s Gourmet Bourbon-aki Sauce

Instructions

Stabilize your Kamado Joe Classic III Ceramic Charcoal Grill at 550ºF with the Kamado Joe Cast Iron Half Moon Griddle installed.

Season the tuna steak on both sides with the Cattleman’s Grill Blackening Seasoning.

Place the Saica Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the griddle.

Carefully drag the fish across the surface to see if it sticks. If it does not, gently lay the fish on the surface, lowering it away from you so you do not splash yourself with excess oil.

Sear the fish for 45 seconds then flip. Place a bit of oil on the top of the fillet and flip. Cook for another 45 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board.
