• 4 (6 ounce) albacore tuna steaks, 1 inch thick

• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 cup hickory wood chips, soaked

Directions

Place tuna steaks and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the grill for medium heat. When coals are very hot, scatter a handful of hickory or mesquite wood chips over them for flavor.
