Fresh Tuna Steaks With Hoisin Ginger Marinade

Abby Girl's Note:

We were introduced to fresh tuna, at this little fish store in Hawaii many years ago. The marinade that was used was so incredible that I had to try and re-create it at home. I think I came in pretty close. Most restaurants grill their tuna for 3-4 minutes per side, but I tend to like mine rare, so I only cook each side for 1-1/2 minute. Tuna must be as fresh as possible

Just made this and it was really good! I doubled the marinade, then thickened it with a 1 1/2 tsb cornstarch and used it as a sauce over the fish and brown rice I served with it. It was just what I was looking for! Thanks for posting!

Easy. Maybe a little too much HOISIN flavor for our tastes.

Wonderful recipe. We enjoyed it very much. I wish I had cooked 4 tuna steaks instead of two. I did use honey instead of the sherry. There was no problem with burning and the taste was excellent.
