Summer's here and it's hot & steamy in Florida! Cool your palate with this delicious and refreshing summer meal.
Tropical Tuna Steaks*
1/2 cup pineapple or other tropical fruit preserves (I used a pineapple mango combo)
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4, 6 oz tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick
To prepare marinade, combine preserves, hoisin, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well. Reserve about 1/4 cup to be used as a dipping sauce.
Pour the remaining into a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl; toss tuna with marinade to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
Remove tuna steaks from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade.
Cook on preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook - the tuna should be lightly browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the middle. Serve immediately.
