Grilled tuna steak marinated in Mexican sauce

Serves: 4

Tuna is one of the more popular fish on the market. It is incredibly delicious, especially when cooked to medium full of flavor and great texture. Tuna is best served medium/rare to retain juiciness; you want to see a pink center. If you like tuna very rare, make sure to purchase sushi grade tuna to ensure that you can eat it almost raw.

2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
