Key Tool
Step Description
1
In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
2
Toss the tuna in the mixture and allow it to marinate for 30–60 minutes.
3
Oil the grates of a grill and heat over high heat. While the grill is heating, lightly dab the tuna steaks with a paper towel to remove dripping marinade, then dredge in the sesame seeds.
4
Cover all sides of the tuna with sesame seeds, lightly pressing them into the fish. Once the grill is hot, grill the tuna for 3 minutes.
5
Flip the tuna over and grill for an additional 1–2 minutes. Use the
TP01A Instant Read Meat Thermometer
to check the temperature.
6
If using tuna steaks, aim for 125°F. If using sashimi-grade tuna that has already been flash frozen, cook until an internal temperature of 115°F.
7
Continue grilling until the tuna reaches the appropriate temperature, then remove the tuna from the grill and allow to cool.
8
Grill the scallions by placing them on the grill and turning them every minute or two until they are nicely charred.
9
While the tuna is resting, combine all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk. Spoon the sauce over the sliced tuna. Serve solo, with rice, or your favorite vegetable.
