Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are brown or have any signs of spoilage.
- Cut the tuna steaks into 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Make the ginger-chile marinade ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can marinate the tuna for up to 24 hours, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help sear the tuna and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
- Cook the tuna skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning them once. The tuna is done when it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the tuna kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce.

Tuna kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. They are also a healthy option, as tuna is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give tuna kebabs a try. You won't be disappointed!
