Ingredients
- Sake
- 1/4 cup
- Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Tuna steaks
- 4 (6-ounce) steaks
- Green onions
- 2, sliced (for garnish)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sake, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are well coated. Marinate for 10 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through to evenly absorb the flavors.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade.
- Grill the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness. The fish should be seared on the outside while remaining tender and pink in the center.
- Once grilled, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
- Slice the tuna steaks against the grain and serve garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, incorporate some red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha in the marinade.
- This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or a light cucumber salad.
