Lime- Chili Marinated Tuna Steaks

 

A bit- o- barbecue flavor in this grilled tuna...
 

4 steaks 

 

tuna (about 6 ounces each and 1-inch-thick)

 

2 Tbs 

 

fresh lime juice

 

2 Tbs 

 

reduced-sodium soy sauce

 

2 Tbs 

 

honey

 

2 Tbs 

 

bottled chili sauce

 

2 tsp 

 

olive oil

 

½ tsp 

 

cornstarch

 

 

1

Rinse tuna steaks and pat dry. Arrange tuna in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Mix lime juice, soy sauce, honey, chili sauce, and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour over tuna. Turn fish to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

2

Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Remove tuna from marinade. Pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan and set aside. Cook tuna over hot coals 4-5 minutes on each side. Fish should be lightly browned on outside and pale pink on thickest part. Remove from heat.

3

Bring reserved marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons water until smooth. Add to marinade. Cook and stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks and serve immediately.
