Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-oz each) fresh tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tsp (grated) fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 1 piece (sliced, optional for garnish) green onion
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all the steaks are well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for optional basting (boil it for 1–2 minutes if using as a sauce).
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness. Tuna is best cooked rare to medium-rare to preserve its tender and moist texture.
Once cooked, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
