Weekend Theme: Cooking Dangerously

Austin and I decided to try some things a little out of our comfort zone this weekend. Round one was grilling tuna steaks. The patio was so peaceful and cozy I just had to take a picture.

The reason this was a little on the edge for us was that we've only had tuna at restaurants, at least the seared kind that is rare in the middle. We got a beautiful steak at Whole Foods and the guy at the fish counter told us to just grill it hot and fast then sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. I was skeptical about not marinating it but the result was fantastic, the flavor of the tuna spoke for itself. We'll definitely do this again with the one minor addition of sesame seeds.
