Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ⅔ cup fresh orange juice
  • zest orange
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin

For the Tuna

  • 24 oz tuna steaks (4 steaks) defrosted (see below) or fresh
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Defrost the tuna steaks as described below. You can also use fresh tuna steaks too.

For the Marinade

  • Combine the orange zest and juice, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  • With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This step emulsifies the oil into the marinade, helping everything stay combined. If you add the oil too quickly, the marinade may separate.
  • Marinate the steaks. I only marinated the tuna for 30 minutes, and it turned out great. Just imagine how much more flavorful it would be with a full 3-hour marinade!

Grill the Tuna

  • Grill the tuna steaks on your favorite grill to your preferred level of doneness. Since I used previously frozen tuna, I cooked the steaks all the way through so my kids would enjoy them.
