Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Tuna steaks
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Dark beer
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, dark beer, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves to create the Beeriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the Beeriyaki marinade over the tuna, ensuring every piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor).

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade by pouring it into a small saucepan.

Step 5

Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks, until the fish is cooked to your liking (medium-rare recommended). Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.

Step 6

While the tuna is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan to ensure it is food-safe. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 7

Remove the grilled tuna steaks from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle the thickened marinade over the steaks for added flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with your choice of steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
