Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lemons, juiced
Tuna:
- 4 (8 to 10-ounce) yellowfin tuna steaks, cut into 3-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Japanese pickled ginger (available at Asian markets)
Directions
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the tuna. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning every hour.
Drain the tuna thirty minutes before cooking and bring to room temperature.
Preheat a grill, grill pan or outdoor barbecue to very hot.
Brush the tuna with olive oil. Grill the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each of their six sides. The outside of the tuna should be nicely charred, and the center should be barely warm and quite rare. Cooked this way, the tuna will remain moist and flavorful.
Top each steak with pickled ginger and serve.

Tuna and/or Marinade...if any reader is interested in TUNA, this recipe is a keeper. If any reader is interested in MARINADES, another keeper. Personal comment, this recipe for me...OUTSTANDING...tuna and marinade. I was fortunate to have a pork tenderloin...after removing the tuna, I put/left pork tenderloin in the tuna marinade...fridge overnight. Unexpected physical feedback from my 38 year married hubbie. Decide for yourself!!!

What a great recipe -- this marinade was absolutely delicious! I'd never cooked tuna before, but I made this recipe for my husband's birthday and he was amazed at how good it was! Even my son loved it and he's usually not wild about fish. We don't like pickled ginger, so we skipped that, but the tuna steaks got plenty of flavor from the marinade itself. I think this marinade would be equally delicious with pork tenderloin or chicken breasts -- and I'll definately be trying it with both!
