How to Make Oriental Grilled Tuna

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Add 2 (6-ounce) tuna steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the marinated tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
