Korean Grilled Tuna is my recipe of the day with the blogging group called “From Our Dinner Table”. We have been getting together once a week, on Sundays, to post on a variety of topics.
This week, as we kick off the late Spring season with the advent of Mother’s Day, we are posting some favorite grilling and outdoor recipes.
A Favorite Recipe
One of my favorites is grilled tuna, and this one is done up with a very simple sweet and spicy glaze.
I love gochujang on just about anything, and tuna simply fares well in just about any cooking sauce. So you know this is going to be good.
Grill this to your own perfection. I prefer a medium with some pink inside and will lean towards more red and rare. Others will like theirs fully opaque and cooked through. Be sure to ask your guests.

Digging that glaze on that yummy looking tuna! One of the few fish I actually enjoy eating. Adding this to the must make list.
That beautiful tuna steak! Oh my! I really need to get over my fear of cooking with fresh tuna and give it a try very soon. This looks wonderful.
Just take care not to overcook as it dries out very easily.
Loved this sauce plus added Miso and quinoa!
Is the 1 tablespoon gochujang the sauce or paste? I have both.
The paste such as what often comes in the red oblong plastic containers.
