Ingredients

  • ½ cup pineapple or other tropical fruit preserves

  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick

Directions

  1. To prepare marinade, combine preserves, hoisin, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir well.

  2. Pour into a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl; toss tuna with marinade to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

  4. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook - the tuna should be lightly browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the middle. Serve immediately.
