Recipe View Remove the grilled tuna from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to the marinade.
Serve the grilled tuna over a bed of steamed rice with a side of grilled asparagus or a fresh salad.
Sushi-grade tuna is recommended for the best flavor and texture. If sushi-grade is not available, ensure the tuna is very fresh and of high quality.
Do not over-marinate the tuna, as the acid in the teriyaki sauce can break down the proteins and make the fish mushy.
