Ahi Tuna Marinade

Grilled Ahi Tuna Preparation

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the tuna. Ensure the steaks are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Grilling the Tuna

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Grill the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the steaks on the hot grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks. The ideal temperature is about 130°F (54°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Tuna

    Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled Ahi tuna steaks and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
