• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1⁄2 teaspoon light brown sugar
• sriracha sauce (to taste)
• 4 ahi tuna steaks (6 oz each)
• 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
• 4 pineapple slices
• cracked pepper
• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 tablespoon brown sugar

directions

1. Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium high heat.
2. Combine first five ingredients to make the marinade. I love Sriracha, but add slowly, because it is HOT!
3. Sprinkle Ahi tuna steaks with cracked pepper. Spray grill with non-stick spray. Grill each steak for 3-4 minutes each side (for a rare to med rare finish). While cooking, brush each side with marinade.
4. Towards the end of the grilling time, add pineapple slices and grill each side for 1 minute.
5. Meanwhile, heat a separate frying pan to medium high heat. Add olive oil, a splash of the marinade and 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar. Add green beans and stir fry (7-8 minutes).
6. Plate the tuna steaks on top of 1/4 of cooked green beans. Top each steak with a pineapple slice.
7. Serve with a swirl of Sriracha on each plate and extra marinade on the side for dipping.
8. Enjoy!
