Grilled Tuna Steaks with Tabasco Tomato Salsa
There isn’t really a time that there isn’t a window open in our house, besides loving the outdoors and fresh air, we also live in a one bedroom apartment surrounded by other apartments that keeps it stifling, so we just keep windows open all day long. Because it’s always warm, I’ve also been actively avoiding the oven! These tuna steaks really fit the bill for summer cooking, because there was no oven required and these smell amazing on the grill.
These steaks were one of Ben’s and my favorite recipes of the Tabasco10 week. The ingredients are simple and the salsa on top of the warm grilled tuna was perfect for summer along with a glass of summery white wine!
The inspiration keeps flowing this week, so make sure you’re keeping up with the fabulous and inventive creations from your favorite bloggers.

I love a good tuna steak recipe. I’m totally digging this one.
Now, that’s a beautiful looking piece of fish. I just love tuna, and for some reason love it even more in the summertime, I think maybe because of it’s rare, cool inside. Love the kick of tabasco tomatoes.
Seriously gorgeous! And I love that salsa.
Mmmm….I adore tuna! Loving these simple meals, friend!
Beautiful dish! Love when I find new tuna recipes 🙂
We just got a new fish market downtown (well last year anyway) and they have the most delicious fresh tuna. This would be perfect!!
So, so pretty! Great summer meal 🙂
Love the tabasco on these, sounds like the perfect summer dish, and healthy too!
As it heats up here, I wont want to turn on my oven either, so this is going to be perfect for those days!
