Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fresh lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate Tuna

    Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the tuna is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare Tuna for Grilling

    Remove the tuna from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Grill Tuna

    Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds before serving.
