How to Make Tuna Steaks With Pineapple Sauce

  1. **Marinate the Tuna:** In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Add 2 tuna steaks (6-8 oz each) and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. **Prepare the Pineapple Salsa:** Combine 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. **Grill the Tuna:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Remove tuna from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. **Cook the Tuna:** Grill tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  5. **Serve:** Spoon the pineapple salsa onto plates. Top with the grilled tuna steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite island-style rice pilaf!
