Nothing says summer like a steak on the grill.....even if it is a tuna steak. If you are a fan of fish and have never tried a tuna steak, I suggest you give it a try with this great marinade. First some tips for ensuring you are purchasing fresh tuna steaks. The best option is to buy your steak fresh from the fish case at your local grocery store. It is best to buy it from a store that states the region of the world that the tuna is coming from. Many stores will actually inject the tuna to make it have a pinkish look, but fresh, not altered tuna is darker red, with a grey tint. Once you find your fresh tuna steaks, you will need the following for marinading:
1/4 cup of soy sauce
3 tbsp of brown sugar
3 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of either white wine or cider vinegar
2 tbsp of chicken broth
2 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 tsp of ground ginger
Combine the above ingredients. Place the tuna steaks in a storage container. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks and seal the container with a lid. Place in the frig for 2-4 hours, turning the steaks half way through. Grill the steaks about 5 minutes a side. Serve the tuna over rice with the grilled veggie of your choice. If you like zucchini, try the following recipe:
Cut a zucchini in half width wise and then cut each half lengthwise. Take each section of zucchini and cut it into three stalks or straws. In a bowl combine 4 tsp of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tsp of sesame oil, and 2 tsp of Chinese mustard. Place the zucchini and the marinade into a Ziploc
baggie and seal. Marinate in the frig for an hour. Place the zucchini stalks directly on the grill and grill for about 3 minutes a side.
