Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Main
- 2 tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, honey, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Tuna: Place the tuna steaks in the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 30 minutes refrigerated to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the tuna steaks from sticking during cooking.
- Grill the Tuna: Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off and discard the leftover marinade. Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled tuna steaks to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Serve the tuna steaks with steamed rice and your favorite Asian-inspired vegetables for a complete meal.
