Time 35m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon honey
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce
1 teaspoon peeled and finely chopped ginger
2 ahi tuna steaks (sushi grade)
1 cup cucumber, sliced paper thin lengthwise and seeds
1/4 red onion, sliced paper thin
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
vegetable oil, for brushing
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • Combine the sherry, soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, chili sauce, and ginger in small sauce pan. Put the tuna steaks in a baking dish and pour a quarter cup of the marinade over the steaks. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerated for up to two hours).
  • Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. (We like to use our indoor grill pan in the winter - just make sure it is smoking hot.).
  • Remove the tuna steaks from marinade and pat dry. Brush the steaks on both sides with vegetable oil. Grill, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful, as the tuna will get dry if overcooked.
  • Meanwhile, put the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until reduced to syrupy consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve the tuna teaks with the soy-ginger glaze and top with a heaping portion of the pickled cucumbers.
  • Pickled Cuke Preparation
  • Put the cukes and red onion in a small bowl. Add the vinegar and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 days.
