Yellowfin tuna is always delicious when grilled. This is great at a tailgate party, or at your Saturday afternoon summer barbecue. You can add a little cayenne pepper or minced fresh ginger to the marinade to give it a little extra kick.

1 cup teriyaki sauce
¾ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) fillets yellowfin tuna

Directions

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, and pepper. Place the tuna fillets in the bag. Seal the bag with as little air in it as possible. Give the mix a good shake, to ensure the tuna fillets are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
Step 3

Remove tuna from marinade, and place on grill. For rare tuna, grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. For medium, grill 5 to 8 minutes per side. For well done, grill for 8 to 10 minutes per side.

Note

Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the grill. Check the doneness of the fish by making an incision with a knife and checking the color in the middle.

Great Ahi recipe. Taste just the way Mom use to make. I too seared on a pan rather than the grill. Wonderful dish will definitely make again. Read More

This is a tricky one to review. I was disappointed with the actual marinade. I let it sit in the sauce over night and was surprised at the lack of flavor. However the tuna steaks themselves were the best we've ever eaten so the meal was far from being a disaster! (By the way the comment regarding over 40g of fat in this recipe - it's not as if you drink the marinade. It quite clearly says 'The nutrition data for this recipe includes information for the full amount of the marinade ingredients') Read More

Oh My Gosh!! What an outstanding recipe for tuna. I use Trader Joe's Veri Teriyaki sauce and marinate the ahi tuna for one hour in the refrigerator. Cook until medium rare inside and top with homemade wasabi butter -- absolutely delicious! Read More

This is a great recipe! Also - regarding the nutritional information (so many reviewers were overly concerned about fat and sodium) - you don't drink the marinade! Read More

This was so delicious and very easy to make. I used Lawry's teriyaki marinade doubled the garlic and added a 1/2 tsp of ground ginger. My husband grilled the steaks for 2 minutes on one side and 1 and a half minute on the other to produce the perfect medium rare. I boiled down the remaining marinade to pour over each steak and paired this with "Stuffed Peppers My Way" for a gourmet meal that pleased all eight of my dinner guests. Read More

Pretty good followed others advice and marinated for 4 hours depends on thickness. For 1" steaks 2 hours should do. Read More
