Italian salad dressing right out of the bottle. I used to use olive oil, garlic, pepper, etc. then figured out it's all in the salad dressing already. Simple yet yummy!
this makes a lot, adjust according to how much u wanna make
2 gallons soy
2 cups canola oil
4 cups lemon juice
2 cups honey
4 tspn garlic powder
4 cups water
heres another
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup dry wasabi powder
2 pounds tuna loin, cut into 2 pieces
1/2 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons peanut oil
In a non-reactive bowl combine soy, honey, and wasabi powder. Reserve 1/4 cup for dipping
sauce. Roll each piece of tuna in this mixture to coat evenly. Marinate from 1 hour to
overnight. Remove the tuna from the marinade and discard the marinade.
On a plate, lay the sesame seeds. Roll the tuna in the seeds to evenly coat.

All those Italian ones are great ( wife's favorite ) another good one is real easy too marinate in teriyaki sauce for no more than about an hour than brush on Kikkomans Teriyaki glaze while on grill cook no more than 4 mins a side ( 1" thick steaks ):thumbup:
Yum Yum!

I'm a Tuna Bite finatic....
cube the Tuna about 1-1/2 inches
dredge in hot sauce ( any brand works) for about 30 min
flour/bread ( I like Panko) deep fry for about a minute
drain on paper towel
serve on a bed of lettuce with cool ranch dressing and some garlic toast points and a cold beer
bet they'd be real good grilled on a skewer with sesame seeds ...

I use the zesty Italian dressing as my marinade but I let it sit over night in the marinade then just slice it real thin and eat it on crackers my favorite for fresh tuna

My favorite way to cook tuna is to cut slices about 3/4 inch thick and about 2 to 3 inches around, put in a gallon zip lock bag, add zesty italion dressing and put in freg all day after that I take the tuna dry it off with paper towels and bread it with house autrey hotter than mild seafood breader and deep fry for about 3 min, it is better if not overcooked:thumbup:

Y'all are getting too fancy. All I like to do is coat each side with a dab of olive oil so it seals up nice when you grill it for 2 minutes per side on the charcoal grill. Then dip each bite in soy sauce (preferably San-J made right here in Richmond) and you are good to go.
Of course you can get more creative but with a fish as good as fresh tuna, why mess too much with it?

olive oil and/or sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and brown sugar-
marinade for no more than 15 minutes- you do not want to overpower the natural taste of the tuna, then grill medium rare (remember they keep cooking for a few minutes after they come off the grill, so pull them off earlier than you think you need to.)
They'll eat it like candy- no leftovers guaranteed.

:thumbup: This is a little off thread but the best tuna I've ever eaten was with three other buddies at the back of Walt Spruill's old "hunter" down in Hatteras Island with fresh yellow fin caught that day, wasabi, soy, and pleanty of cold Bud. Man, what a day.

How about Tuna Martinique?
This is an old favorite which is good with ANY fish...or meat for that matter.
In a bowl,baking dish,or ziplock(my favorite) combine the following:
2 red onions cut into 1/4" strips
1/4 C Roses lime juice
1 T Old Bay
1 t Fresh ground black pepper
1/4 C e.v. olive oil
Marinate at least 90 minutes.
to grill, I'd saute the onions in a seperate pan.
to bake or broil place meat in dish, top with onion.
Garnish with lime wedge...ENJOY

Marinade tuna in basalmic vinager for about 45-1 hour, not overnight. It will ruin the meat. Get grill going and when the coals are just right add a large handful of wet hickory chips then drain the basalmic vinager off your tuna steaks, chunks and season. I like coarse black pepper. Cook until you like it. I like it about medium. This came from a restraunt down in Charleston SC. My family loves it. R/Chip.

Get some really high quality Dijon. Boars Head works pretty well too. Coat the tuna in the Dijon and add some fresh cracked pepper a little epaprika and a touch of brown sugar. I like mine cooked on super high heat for a few minutes on each side. The key to good tuna is for it to be as fresh as possible.

Bring this back to life,
Has anyone ever heard of using Mayonase (dukes) Teriyaki, Soy Sauce, Lemon zest, I can't remember what else or how much of everything the guy used but let me tell you, it was Jammin.
Just wondering, it was a thick sauce & I will have to say the best I think I have ever had. Only had it that one time, should have gotten the recipe then.

Good one. And the best way to "overpower" perfectly good fish is to soak it in vinegar (Italian Dressing).:nono:
One of the best and simplest marinades is Mr. Yoshida's Sauce, available at Sam's and Costco. Probably tastes very similar to your recipe above.

Woolard I think I have that one or very simular. It's from the White Marlin in O.C. It's great. I will look tomorrow and hunt it down and post it.

Mr. Yoshida's (or similar terriaki style concoction), a little orange or lime juice, olive oil, tarragon and black pepper for ~1/2 hr
Grill very hot until well marked but rare, let rest covered
(If any survives until the next day; celery, a little spring onion and mayo, you'll never buy canned tuna again!)

OK, It's kind of a re-post, with a twist!
Caught a couple of Cobia last weekend, kept one.
I always cut the ribs out and leave the skin on, marinate and grill, then pick out the bones, pull the meat off of the skin and make fish salad.
Used "Ken's Lite, Asian Sesame with Ginger and Soy" as a marinade with some fresh Basil from the garden.
Just had some on Club crackers. Pretty damn good!
