I have been making this for over a year now.. and perfect every time. I am having to double the tuna now because everyone comes back for seconds. I literally have to hide my extra portion to eat next day. I make grilled vegetables and rice pilaf with mine. Even the kids who never ate fish love this! A fresh spring mix salad with grilled slices of orange and a light raspberry vinaigrette also great with pieces of tuna for lunch next day.

Again, another fantastic recipe from my favorite chef, Kittencal!! I made this exactly as posted and it turned out PERFECT! The combination of flavors in the marinate is prefect. I grilled the steaks leaving some pink inside and they were moist and soooooooo tasty. I served them with an oriental salad and the two dishes complimented each other perfectly. Thank you for sharing Kittencal. I always know if it has your name on it, it will be delicious.

Kittencal, even with my Fijian variations, this was great. Very simple. Very good. I have a confession to make 'though. FIJI being rather difficult to find ingredients, I ended up using Teriyaki instead of Hoisin and parsley was nowhere to be found...and I forgot the black pepper! But everyone raved about it. Marinated 6 hours. I cut our steaks 3cm thick and they were perfect.
