Lucky tuna bathes in a spicy tequila marinade before a quick trip to the grill. Great spicy/sweet mix, and plenty of tequila leftover for later in the evening.
Ready in: 16 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

1. Place tequila, brown sugar, lime juice, chili powder, olive oil, salt, and tuna in a large plastic resealable bag. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat grill to high and lightly oil grate.
3. Remove steaks from marinade and set on grill. Close lid and cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until tuna has just a little pink left in the middle.
