Step 1
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sherry, vegetable oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Pour this marinade over the tuna, making sure each steak is well coated. Cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors soak in.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to high and brush the grates with a bit of oil to keep the fish from sticking. Take the tuna out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the steaks for about 3 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on how done you like them. Once they’re cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and enjoy!
Serving Recommendations
Serve with a light salad or grilled vegetables to balance the richness of the fish. A squeeze of fresh lemon or a drizzle of soy sauce can add a bright, tangy finish. Pair it with rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Leftover Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold in a salad to maintain the best texture and flavor. Avoid freezing, as this can change the fish’s texture.
