Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Ahi

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice. Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tuna

    Remove the Ahi from the marinade and season with salt and black pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the Ahi from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the steaks and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
