Cooking instructions
Preparation
At least one hour before serving, prepare a marinade with the oil, vinegar or lime juice, tarragon leaves, salt and pepper in a flat container. Pour over the tuna steaks and turn them to make sure all pieces are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it is time to grill.
Preparation
Spray a clean grill or grilling container with non-stick cooking spray.
Preparation
Drain and reserve the excess marinade from the tuna. Grill tuna for about 4 minutes on each side or until nicely charred on the outside and still a bit pink in the middle.
Preparation
Place the steaks on individual serving dishes and pour the marinade on the grilled tuna.
Preparation
Serve with steamed vegetables, steamed rice, or a spinach salad.

Read it through first
Skim all 5 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
