Questions & Replies

  1. You state in recipe to reduce the marinade for a sauce, but the tuna was marinated in it. Is it safe to use this for a reduction with tuna juice in it?

  1. Really easy to prepare with really great taste! <br/>I substituted some regular chili powder for chili flakes, then added a pinch of habanero chili powder to give it a little extra kick. Grilled on high heat, 3 minutes per side for 2-inch thick steaks to get them medium rare to rare. <br/>Thanks Rita for the great recipe.
     
  2. This marinade was excellent for tuna and for mushrooms on the side. We could have been at a swanky restaurant, it was so good. I did make this twice. The first time we marinaded for a short time (about 30 min) and it turned out great. The second time I left it in the marinade for a day before grilling. That time the marinade was a little over-powering for the fish, so I recommend marinading the same day as you cook. Definitely use the extra marinade to cook down and pour over the fish and vegies on the side. Super good!
     
  3. I found this recipe last-minute and decided to make it even though it says to marinate/chill for 2 hours. My steaks only marinated about 10 minutes but it was still oh so good! I used a cast iron grill pan (since it's freezing outside right now) and it turned out excellent. The fish was tender and had a wonderful flavor, and the extra sauce was good drizzled over the steaks and veggies. My fiance asked that I make this again soon, with double sauce so we can use it as a salad dressing as well. Next time I'll marinate and it will probably be even better! Thanks Rita L! :)
     
  4. I had a sneaking suspicion that I would like this recipe. Turns out, I was wrong... I LOVED it! Perfect balance of sweet and salty for lovely tuna steaks. Unfortunately, our weather didn't cooperate, so I had to broil rather than grill the steaks. I can't wait to try them grilled!
     
  5. Thanks for an easy recipe with a great taste!

  2. DH loved this. I used powdered ginger in place of fresh and olive oil in place of sesame oil and cooked in frying pan. Next time will grill it. Very good.
