Ahi Tuna Ingredients

Method

Grilling Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper. This will serve as your marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F or 232-260°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare doneness. The inside should remain pink.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the grilled tuna from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
