Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
1/4 cup
Fresh Ginger

Instructions
1
In a small mixing bowl, thoroughly combine minced garlic, reduced sodium soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, dark sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sliced green onion to create a flavorful marinade.
2
Place the rinsed and patted dry tuna steaks into a resealable plastic ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag securely and set it in a shallow pan to catch any potential leaks.
3
Allow the tuna to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Turn the bag occasionally to ensure all sides of the steaks absorb the marinade thoroughly.
4
Prepare your grill by lightly coating the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5
Once marinated, remove the tuna steaks from the bag, discarding the used marinade.
6
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of about 145 degrees F.
7
Once done, remove from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Ginger-Infused Grilled Tuna Steaks!
