Since
planks are made of wood they will catch fire. Please use caution
and follow these tips when planking. Always use watersoaked
planks before grilling. Use untreated western red cedar planks.
Have a fire extinguisher at the ready. Never leave your grill when
planking. Periodically check that the plank is not on fire. In the
event of flames, reduce burner temperature, open lid, douse the
fire with a squeeze bottle of water, close lid and continue planking.
Be aware of the wind direction when planking. Never open grill lid
into the wind. Stand with your back to the wind when opening the
grill to avoid the smoke from getting in your eyes. Do not use planks
more than once. Allow planks to fully cool before discarding. Use
a large bucket of cold water to cool the planks after cooking.
2 x 8 oz tuna steaks
1 tbsp. + 1 tbsp. King of the Q Smoke Roasted Garlic oil or your
favorite seasoned oil
1 tbsp. King of the Q Amazing Steak Spice or your favorite steak
spice
4 cups day old mashed potatoes, cold
4 large scallops, cut in half lengthways into medallions
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the bias
2 tbsp. melted butter
Special Equipment
1 1-inch thick x 12-inch long x 8-10 inches wide untreated cedar
plank, soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour
1. Preheat grill
to high (about 550°F).
2. Brush tuna steaks with 1 tbsp. oil and season with Amazing Steak
Spice, gently pressing the spices into the fish to adhere.
3. Place seasoned tuna steaks on grill and sear for about 15-30
seconds on one side. Remove tuna from grill and place centered onto
plank, raw side down.
4. Reduce grill temperature to medium-high (about 450°-500°F).
5. Pack cold mashed potatoes around tuna steaks, creating a tight
wall around the tuna and leaving the tuna exposed in the middle.
6. Shingle scallops over tuna, sprinkle with green onions and drizzle
with remaining 1 tbsp. of oil.
7. Place plank in grill, close lid and grill-bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
checking periodically to insure plank is not on fire and fish and
potatoes are golden brown but not burning.
8. Remove plank from grill, brush potatoes with melted butter and
serve immediately with extra butter for dipping.
