Ingredients:

Serving

8 tsp allspice berries, ground
2 tbsp dry mustard
4 tsp paprika
2 tsp granulated onion
2 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp dried red pepper flakes
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 1/2 lbs tuna steaks, 1-inch thick , cut into 4 equal portions
1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

For the jerk seasoning:.
In a small bowl combine the allspice, mustard, paprika, granulated onion, lemon pepper, dried red pepper flakes, ground pepper, cayenne, granulated garlic, cinnamon, salt and thyme.
Rinse the tuna with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub each side of the tuna pieces with a little of the olive oil.
Sprinkle one side of each portion with 1 1/2 teaspoons jerk mixture; pat the seasoning onto the fish, turn and repeat with the second side.
Let stand for 1 hour, until the seasoning is moistened, turning once.
Store extra jerk blend in a sealed jar for up to 6 months.
Grill the tuna over moderately-hot fire for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once.
Do not overcook, since the seafood will continue to cook once taken from the fire.
Serve with grilled plantains and a salad of chayote, orange and sweet onion, if you like.
