SPICE ISLAND MARINADE

Spice Island Marinade image

This marinade imparts a pungent, Indian flavor to chicken, beef or ribs, but it works particularly well with tuna steaks or fish fillets. For four 6-to-8-ounce tuna steaks, marinate 1 1/2-inch-thick steaks in refrigerator for 4 hours. Grill over hot coals until rare, about 3 minutes per side.
