Orange-lemon-soy-ginger Marinated and Grilled Tuna Steaks and Asparagus

So the name of this dish is a mouthful, but I decided to get fancy. I just went to Costco the day before to do shopping, and I got some tuna steaks to try cooking since I had never had tuna steak outside of a fancy restaurant before. I just got two tuna steaks, and made a marinade out of soy sauce, orange juice, lemon juice, and a dash of ginger. I rubbed some black pepper into the tuna steaks, and then let them marinate in the orange-lemon-soy sauce for a while. Meanwhile, I cleaned up some asparagus and drizzled some olive oil and salt over it. Once the steaks were pretty much done marinating, I poured the sauce over the asparagus and let them sit in that for a bit.

So now to the cooking part: Fired up the grill, got it pretty hot to about 400 degrees F. I put the steaks and the asparagus on at the same time, directly on the grill. The asparagus should not fall through the slots. After about 5 minutes, opened up the lid and flipped both the asparagus and the tuna steaks. Brushed the steaks with some of the remaining marinade to keep it moist. Once side of the steak should be brown. Then I let it cook for another 5 minutes or so. At this point, I opened the grill and kept moving around the asparagus. I like it a little charred, which makes it nice, soft, and juicy, giving it great flavor. I pulled off the asparagus, put it in a pan, and put the steaks on top of this bed of asparagus. The outside of the steaks should be brown.

The steaks were cooked perfectly, still pink in the middle, which you can do, since it's seafood. That's how they cook it in the fancy places anyway. The asparagus was also delicious and complemented the steaks perfectly. I was so excited to eat it that I forgot to take a picture. I promise I'll take one next time! Enjoy!
