Ingredients

1 medium pink grapefruit
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot

Directions

Peel and section grapefruit over a bowl, reserving juice. Refrigerate half of the grapefruit sections. Add remaining grapefruit to the reserved grapefruit juice.

Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the tuna steaks. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once.

Top tuna steaks with reserved grapefruit sections. Cover and cook 5 minutes longer for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center. Yield: 4 servings.

Simple and easy, fresh ingredients make this recipe delicious! I made it with ahi steaks on my grill plate and unfortunately left them go a little too long... They ended up slightly over cooked so be careful about following the time recommendations. The citrus flavor with the dill and tuna is wonderful! Very refreshing and flavorful.
