How to Make Tuna Vera Cruz
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, zest of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the marinade into a 2-quart glass dish.
- Add 1.5 lbs tuna steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
