Asian Marinated Grilled Tuna

by Central Market   1/1/2006

Servings:

 4 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
Juice of 2 lemons
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
Thinly sliced scallion greens
Pickled ginger
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 (10-ounce) bottle teriyaki sauce
4 (8-ounce) yellowfin tuna steaks
2 or 3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/3 cup chopped scallions
3 tablespoons chopped ginger

Cooking Instructions

Arrange the tuna in a single layer in a shallow dish. Combine the teriyaki sauce, sherry, chopped ginger, chopped scallions, garlic, pepper, lemon juice and rice wine vinegar in a bowl and mix well. Pour over the tuna. Chill, covered, for 2 hours, turning the tuna once. Drain the tuna and let it come to room temperature. Brush on all sides with the olive oil. Place on a grill at a 45-degree angle over hot coals and grill for 1 minute. Turn 90 degrees to create a crosshatch grill mark. Grill for 1 more minute. Turn the tuna over and repeat the grilling process; the tuna will be rare and cool on the inside. For medium tuna, cook an additional 2 minutes per side. Serve with pickled ginger and sliced scallions.
