Smoked Ahi Tuna Steak
This Smoked Ahi Tuna Steak recipe has a rich, deep flavor and wonderful smoky taste. This dish pairs wonderfully with classic sides and can be prepared on any smoker or Traeger grill.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12-14 oz ahi tuna fillets I used 2 fillets around 6-7 ounces each.
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar or sweetener
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
- Rub both sides of the fish with olive oil and sprinkle the spices onto both sides of the fish. Rub the spices in to ensure the flavor penetrates.
- Place the fish on the smoker. Smoke the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-145 degrees. I smoke it to 130 degrees. This usually takes 30-45 minutes, but can vary. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. It may take an hour or more to smoke it to 145 degrees.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to monitor doneness. You can also check for visual cues such as the tuna turning a light pink color and the flesh becoming opaque.
