    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!

    omg i can't believe how GOOD this tasted it was absolutely delicious! i had some ahi tuna steaks that i wanted to use up but i never thought that it would taste like this. i didn't have terriaki or sherry so i used some oyster sauce. marinated it in a plastic bag for about... mmm almost 3 hours and should've let it come to room tempurature, but forgot to. i served it with this website's asian beet salad. omg i can't express how good this tasted

    My family (two teenagers with very different tastes in food and I loved this dish.
    I did leave the steaks whole, and did not cube, but they came out perfect with the grilling instructions.
    Even my son who doesn't like sushi, or rare tuna, loved it. It was cooked enough to not have that raw feel and taste, but to still be moist and juicy.
    We didn't top off with the pickled ginger, we don't care for it with our sushi either.
    I served it with stir fried rice.
    It's now on my regular rotation.
    Marinade would probably be great with chicken, shrimp or salmon too!

    I'm so glad i found this. I never liked tuna filets , always found it bland and boring a bit like a dry steak. But cooked like this, in smaller 'cubes', marinated for a few hours, covered with with fresh ginger and green onions, it becomes much more tender and tasty. The really great thing about this recipe is the topping of pickled ginger. I've never found a use for pickled ginger outside of that pre-sushi tradition, and I have to admit- though now I have a whole jar of pickled ginger in my fridge with no real use- that it really adds an essential taste to the rest of the dish. I cooked up some sushi rice with it too, and with The marinade it was a perfectly complete dish..

    I actually only used this marinade and cooked the tuna in a grill pan. It was delicious! I then used the extra marinade for yellowtail and broiled it, fantastic! I'm going to try it with chicken too.
