Instructions

Marinate the Tuna

Start by placing the tuna steaks in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sherry, vegetable oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Pour this marinade over the tuna, making sure each steak gets a good coating. Cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors soak in.

Preheat and Oil Grill

When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to high and brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Take the tuna out of the marinade, letting any extra drip off, and discard the leftover marinade.

Grill Tuna Steaks

Place the steaks on the grill and cook them for about 3 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on how done you like your tuna. Once cooked, remove from the grill and serve right away.
