Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup sesame oil

  • 1 medium orange, juiced

  • 1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir in orange juice, ginger, and garlic until well combined.

Cook's Notes:

I like to use freshly squeezed orange juice, but any fresh citrus juice would be delicious.

To use: Pour marinade over 2 ahi tuna steaks in a resealable bag. Seal the bag, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Marinating too long will overpower the fish with soy sauce. When ready to cook, remove from the refrigerator and cook as desired.

I like to cook tuna in a hot cast iron grill pan for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
