Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 3 stalks (thinly sliced) scallions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. This will be your sauce.
Season the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Lightly brush them with vegetable oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s well-oiled to avoid sticking.
Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your tuna well-done. Remove from the heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
While the tuna is resting, heat the prepared sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes, just to warm it up and meld the flavors.
Stir the sliced scallions into the warm sauce and remove from the heat.
Plate the grilled tuna steaks and generously drizzle the ginger soy and scallion sauce over the top.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick. Pair with steamed rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
