Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh tuna steak
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 8 units wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Rinse the tuna steak under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the tuna into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

While the tuna marinates, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 6

If using green onions, cut them into 1-inch pieces to thread along with the tuna on the skewers.

Step 7

Thread the marinated tuna cubes onto the skewers, alternating with green onion pieces if desired. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill or broiler rack. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved marinade for extra flavor, until the tuna is seared on the outside but still slightly pink in the center.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
