This aromatic marinade is used to flavor and tenderize beef in Korean cuisine. Do not marinate this longer than two hours, as the enzymes in ginger can over-tenderize the fish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds tuna steak (1 inch or thicker), cut into 4 portions
Directions
In a plastic bag combine all ingredients except the tuna. Mix the marinade in the bag until combined and add the tuna, coating it completely. Seal the bag, refrigerate, and let the tuna marinate for 1 to 2 hours, turning it occasionally.
Preheat a grill, or broiler with rack in the top position.
Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Discard the marinade and grill the tuna (or broil it on a rack set in a baking pan) for 3 minutes on each side until medium rare.
Serve immediately.
Note: Swordfish can also be prepared this way.

Love this marinade! Delicious on tuna, swordfish and salmon steaks. I put the used marinade in a small sauce pan, bring it to a boil for a few minutes and then simmer to reduce slightly, and then drizzle the fish with extra sauce when serving.

This was a nice change from teriyaki sauce, We loved the flavor and made it with Paula Deen's Asian chicken and orzo salad - sans chicken. This was a great combination. Very nice for a hot day. Thanks!
