Gather Your Ingredients

Before You Begin

Since the tuna steaks spend so little time in the marinade, place them in a nonreactive pan rather than in a zipper-lock bag.

Instructions

Whisk first 7 ingredients together in a small bowl until marinade is combined. Place tuna steaks in a nonreactive dish and brush both sides with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes.

Heat grill. Sprinkle tuna steaks with salt and place them on the hot grill rack. Cook over a medium-hot fire, turning once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
