Grilled Ahi Tuna Sliders

By Traeger Kitchen

This first-rate fish gets a quick soak in sesame oil, soy sauce, and spicy red pepper flakes to start, then basks in hardwood smoke, supercharging the marinade. Grill it up right and throw it on a bun with brown sugared pineapple and creamy avocado for a macho meal, grilled for the gods.

    When ready to cook, set temp to High (450F) and preheat, lid closed (10 to 15 minutes).

  • 3

    To sear, place the filets on the front edge of the grill until there are grill marks, then flip and move to the center and cook 3-5 more minutes. Dont overcook it! Tuna is best when it is medium rare, to medium.
