Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Ahi tuna steaks
- 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced, for garnish) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for greasing the grill) Cooking oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice. Whisk together to form the marinade.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring every piece is evenly coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.
Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill. Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer the tuna more well done. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's tender texture.
While the tuna is grilling, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes to use as a glaze or dipping sauce.
Once the tuna is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the top if desired.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
