How to Make Grilled Marinated Tuna Steaks

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Place tuna steaks (about 1.5 inches thick) in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. Add the marinade to the bag, ensuring the tuna is fully coated. Seal the bag tightly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, flipping the bag halfway through to ensure even marination.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill the tuna steaks for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. The tuna should flake easily with a fork.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (optional).
