How to Make 5 Points Plus Sesame Lime Grilled Tuna

  1. In a large resealable zip-top bag, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 (6-ounce) tuna steak to the bag.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Remove tuna from marinade and place on the preheated grill rack.
  6. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130°F (54°C).
  7. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy your 5 PointsPlus deliciousness!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
