Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together dry sherry, minced garlic, minced ginger, low sodium soy sauce, and honey until well combined.
-
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
-
Remove tuna from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
-
Place tuna steaks on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the exterior is seared and glazed.
-
During the last minute of cooking, baste the steaks with the reserved marinade.
-
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
-
Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining warm marinade over the top if desired.
