Description
Delicious grilled tuna steaks marinated in a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce, perfect for summer dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 tuna steaks (6 oz each, about 1-inch thick)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (or 2 tbsp rice vinegar plus 1 tbsp sugar)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re well-coated.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean.
- Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and pat dry.
- Grill the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting with the reserved marinade.
- Once the glaze is glossy and caramelized, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Serve with a refreshing cucumber salad or steamed rice for a well-rounded meal. Resting the tuna after grilling allows the juices to redistribute.
