Grilled Citrus Tuna

The real secret to grilling tuna steaks is to avoid overcooking them. Grill the tuna hot and fast and take them off the grill as soon as you can. The fresher and better quality the tuna the rarer you can leave it. Personally I like it seared on the surface and warmed in the middle.
