Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the aromatics.
Fold in the finely chopped green onion to the marinade and add the black pepper to taste.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Avoid marinating for longer than an hour to prevent over-marination.
Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry before cooking. Discard any remaining marinade and cook the tuna as desired (grill, sear, or bake).
