Steps

  • Step 1

    Peel and trim carrots; cut in quarters. Place carrots in a resealable bag, sealing all but an inch of the top to allow steam to escape. Cook the carrots in the microwave for 2 minutes. This will allow for faster cooking on the grill.

    Ingredients
    • 6 Whole carrots

  • Step 2

    When ready to cook, start the Traeger on Smoke. Put the tuna steaks on the grill and Smoke for 10 minutes. Remove from grill.
