Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Tuna steak(s) - at LEAST 1" thick. 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 is better.
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Soy sauce
3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
1 clove Garlic - pressed
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Honey
2 teaspoons Sesame oil

Steps:

Trim any dark areas from the tuna steaks and sprinkle both sides with salt.
Prepare the marinade. In a small bowl, add soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Stir or whisk thoroughly to combine.
Put tuna steaks in a ziplok bag and add marinade. Squeeze out all the air in the bag and massage the marinade all over and between the steaks. Store in refrigerator for at least 30 and no more than 60 minutes prior to cooking.
Remove tuna steaks from refrigerator about 15 minutes prior to cooking. Put the steaks on a plate and discard the marinade.
Combine paprika, garlic powder, cumin and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle the dry spices evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks. Use your fingers to rub the spices into the steaks.
Prepare a charcoal grill with a good bed of hot coals. Lump charcoal is NOT suggested. Briquets are better for this.
Put steaks on a clean, preheated grill and cover. 2 minutes for the first side. 1-1/2 minutes for the second side.
Enjoy!
