Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the aromatics.

Step 3

Fold in the finely chopped green onion to the marinade and add the black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Avoid marinating for longer than an hour to prevent over-marination.

Step 6

Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry before cooking. Discard any remaining marinade and cook the tuna as desired (grill, sear, or bake).
