Grilled Tuna Steaks with Curried Couscous

After I made the curried couscous, I thought it would make a great base on which to lay an entrée.  Always eager to fire up the grill in our courtyard, I decided on tuna steaks.  As luck would have it, the colors and flavors of each worked well together.

I cooked the tuna for four minutes on each side, with the grill cover up.  The steak cooked through but without being tough or overdone.  If your preference runs on the raw side, you might try three minutes a side, depending on the thickness of the cut.
