Step-by-Step Instructions for Delicious Grilled Tuna Steak with Scallion Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Coat the tuna steaks generously and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together scallions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until fully combined to make the scallion sauce.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
  4. Place the marinated tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, aiming for nice grill marks while the center remains pink.
  5. Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for one minute before slicing against the grain and drizzling with scallion sauce.
