Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tuna steaks (fresh, about 1-inch thick)
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, maple syrup, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grilling surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Set aside the remaining marinade for cooking (do not discard).

Step 5

Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. The center should remain slightly pink for a tender, flaky texture.

Step 6

While the tuna is grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. This will be used as a finishing glaze.

Step 7

Once the tuna steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened marinade over the top as a glaze.

Step 8

Sprinkle the tuna with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or a fresh green salad.
