For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serve the broiled tuna steaks with a side of steamed rice and your favorite Korean side dishes (banchan) for a complete and authentic meal. For best results, use high-quality soy sauce and sesame oil. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Marinating the tuna for longer than 4 hours is not recommended, as the texture of the fish can become mushy.
