Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 serrano chile, seeded, minced
Freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 pounds 1 1/4 -inch-thick ahi tuna, cut into 1- to 1 1/4 -inch cubes
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
1 large sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia), cut into 1-inch squares
6 (12-inch-long) metal skewers
Additional chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk first 8 ingredients in medium bowl to blend; season to taste with ground white pepper. Transfer 3 tablespoons marinade to small bowl and reserve. Add tuna to remaining marinade in medium bowl and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Alternate tuna cubes, bell pepper squares, and onion squares on each of 6 metal skewers. Grill to desired doneness, turning frequently, about 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Drizzle reserved marinade over; sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are brown or gray, as these may be old or spoiled.
  • Use wooden or metal skewers. Wooden skewers need to be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. Metal skewers do not need to be soaked.
  • Cut the tuna steaks into 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the tuna cubes in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb the flavor of the sauce.
  • Cook the tuna kabobs over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the tuna is cooked through. Be sure to turn the kabobs frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the tuna kabobs with rice, vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Tuna teriyaki kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The tuna is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce and then grilled to perfection. The kabobs can be served with rice, vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.
