Fresh Tuna Steaks With Hoisin Ginger Marinade

Submitted by Abby Girl

"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"

Perfect marinade for Tuna. I cooked these on a charcoal grill and they were wonderful. Thank you Abby Girl for sharing this recipe.

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.

I didn't have any sherry to use... and I added in just a dab of honey for a bit of sweetness. It was VERY good!

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.
