Bek's Grilled Tuna Steaks Glazed With Ginger, Lime, and Soy OAMC

Gatorbek's Note:

Good quality tuna steaks that may be served medium to medium rare are a MUST! The glaze complements the flavor of the steaks for a great summer grilled dish.

Delicious! I wouldn't add anymore chilli flakes though, unless you like it hot. Just the right amount of heat & flavour. Thank you!

This is an excellent recipe. A tip for anyone who wound up with tuna that was too well done. I had bought frozen tuna steaks, and they were not defrosted all the way when I grilled them. I followed the instructions of 3 min per side and I wound up with basically something like a tuna tataki (it was just warm in the middle and still totally rare) the flavors are outstanding and I don't even think I marinated quite as long as the recipe called for. Keeper recipe! (Served with stir fry snow peas and red peppers and some jasmine rice, perfect "Asian inspired" meal)

Seared the steaks for a couple of minutes on each side and they were almost well done. MY tuna was only 2 stars. It was dry and chewy. But YOUR tuna recipe deserves 5 stars because the flavor was truly distinctive. I make tuna steaks often. Most of the time they come out rare to medium rare. This was one of the easiest and tastiest recipe I have tried.
