Description
A delicious and easy grilled ahi tuna recipe marinated to perfection, capturing the essence of the ocean.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, thinly julienned
- 2.5 tablespoons freshly squeezed Key lime juice
- 4 tablespoons cold-pressed toasted sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons traditionally brewed Tamari soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon coarsely ground Tellicherry black pepper
- 52 ounces yellowfin ahi tuna steaks, approximately 1 inch thick
Instructions
- Combine Key lime juice, Tamari soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and fresh ginger in a bowl and mix thoroughly to create a marinade.
- Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or large zip-lock bag and coat them with the marinade. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to high heat or prepare a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it is well-oiled.
- Remove the tuna from the fridge and let it sit for 10 minutes to come to room temperature. Sprinkle black pepper evenly on both sides of each steak.
- Place the marinated tuna on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare doneness.
- Let the cooked tuna rest for a few minutes, then slice against the grain into thin, even slices and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh ginger if desired.
Notes
For an enhanced flavor, consider marinating overnight. Serve with fresh vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
