A delightful twist on a classic tuna dish, featuring a flavorful sesame ginger marinade.
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and sugar in a nonmetallic dish to create the marinade.
Using a nonmetallic dish prevents any reaction with the acidic components of the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Turning the tuna halfway through marination ensures even flavor distribution.
Preheat the broiler and prepare a broiler pan. Remove the tuna from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
Let the tuna sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before broiling for even cooking.
Broil the tuna steaks about 3 inches from the heat source, basting with the reserved marinade, for 3-4 minutes per side.
Avoid overcooking the tuna to maintain its tender texture.
Serve the tuna steaks immediately, garnished with sliced scallions.
For a complete meal, serve with steamed rice and a side of vegetables.
