Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

When you're ready to cook, heat up your grill to high and brush the grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Take the tuna out of the marinade and discard any leftover liquid. Grill the steaks for about 3 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like them. Enjoy!
