TUNA GRILLED KOREAN-STYLE

This aromatic marinade is used to flavor and tenderize beef in Korean cuisine. Do not marinate this longer than two hours, as the enzymes in ginger can over-tenderize the fish.

Grilled Tuna With Ginger-Sesame Sauce image

Steps:

Make the sauce. Stir-fry the scallions, ginger and garlic in the sesame oil for one to two minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and pour the sauce into a small bowl. Set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat the grill. Sprinkle the tuna fish with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and liberal grindings of pepper. Grill the fish for two to three minutes on each side for rare, longer if you wish it more well-done. Serve with the sauce on the side.
