Ingredients
- 2 tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger ground
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds divided
- green onion sliced, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high (350 degrees F)
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce, garlic powder, rice vinegar, and half sesame seeds.
- Pour half sauce over tuna steaks, and reserve half for finishing tuna.
- Let fish marinate, refrigerated, for at least 20 minutes (as grill comes to temperature) up to overnight.
- When grill is scorching hot, remove tuna steaks from the marinade and discard excess the mariande fish was sitting in.
- Cover fish with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds to make a "crust" before grilling. Add more than 1 tablespoon if needed.
- Place steaks on grill.
- Grill 2-3 minutes per side, drizzling a bit of reserved sauce on top of fish as it cooks, until fish is charred on each side.
- For medium-rare tuna steaks, cook to 135 degrees F. The FDA recommends 145 degrees F.
- Remove tuna from grill, and top with reserved sauce, green onions, and additional sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!
