Low-Fat Teriyaki Grilled Tuna Steaks

"This is a wonderful, easy, and tasty way to prepare tuna steaks on the grill. I remember the first time I ate a tuna steak, was at a restaurant in N.C., and it was slathered with this herb butter. I remember thinking, why ruin a beautiful tuna steak by adding all that fat, when it doesn't even need it to taste incredible! This marinade adds just the right amount of flavor without piling on the fat...which leads to packing on the pounds!!!"

  1. No tuna to be found, so I used swordfish. Wow, what a great fish for the grill! The marinade was perfect, I wouldn't dare change a thing, except to try the tuna next time.
     
  2. Quite good. I broiled rather than grill. Medallions rather than steaks. 7 rather than 4. I didn't baste. Definitely a keeper.
     
  3. Loved this recipe. I chose to make kabobs with my tuna and the result was moist tuna with an outstanding flavor. Thank you Manda for sharing the recipe.
     
  4. Fantastic flavor. My hubby, myself, and my picky 4 year old all devoured it. Best recipe we've tried for tuna steaks so far!
     
  5. This was an easy and tasty recipe. I made it yesterday and put it in the fridge (marinated the tuna for about 5 hours) for our dinner and we had unexpected company so I used it as an appetizer...the marinade was just right for the tuna. Thank you for submitting the recipe.

I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!!
