Categories     Tuna

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
4 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1/2 cup scallion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 lemons, juice of
4 (8 -10 ounce) yellowfin tuna steaks, cut into 3-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pickled ginger (available at Asian markets)

Steps:

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the tuna. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning every hour.
  • Drain the tuna thirty minutes before cooking and bring to room temperature.
  • Preheat a grill, grill pan or outdoor barbecue to very hot.
  • Brush the tuna with olive oil. Grill the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each of their six sides. The outside of the tuna should be nicely charred, and the center should be barely warm and quite rare. Cooked this way, the tuna will remain moist and flavorful.
  • Top each steak with pickled ginger and serve.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The tuna was dry and flavorless.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my tuna was a bit tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I grilled the tuna instead of pan-searing it. It turned out just as good.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I omitted them from the marinade. The tuna was still delicious.

I didn't have any shallots, so I used onion instead. The tuna still turned out great.
