Gently place the tuna steaks into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. (Marinade: 30 minutes - 2 hours)

Carefully place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness. Tuna is best served medium-rare to medium for optimal moisture and tenderness. (Cook: 6-12 minutes)

Remove the grilled tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (Rest: 2 minutes)
07 Step

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
For an enhanced teriyaki flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
If you don't have Chinese rice wine, dry sherry makes an excellent substitute.
Be careful not to overcook the tuna. It should be slightly pink in the center for the best texture and flavor.
For a smoky flavor, try grilling over wood chips like hickory or mesquite.
Leftover grilled tuna can be flaked and used in salads, sandwiches, or sushi bowls.
