How to Make Teriyaki Ginger Grilled Ahi

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 1/4 cup sake, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Place 4 (6-ounce) ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 3 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (optional).
