Ginger, soy and pineapple come together to make a delicious, craving-satisfying marinade for Ahi tuna steaks. Plate on top of green beans and top with grilled pineapple for a complete, healthy (high protein, low fat) meal. This recipe comes together so quickly for a tasty weeknight meal. Ingredients:
1/4 cup pineapple juice |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 teaspoon ginger, grated |
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar |
sriracha sauce (to taste) |
4 ahi tuna steaks (6 oz each) |
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and washed |
4 pineapple slices |
cracked pepper |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium high heat.
2. Combine first five ingredients to make the marinade. I love Sriracha, but add slowly, because it is HOT!
3. Sprinkle Ahi tuna steaks with cracked pepper. Spray grill with non-stick spray. Grill each steak for 3-4 minutes each side (for a rare to med rare finish). While cooking, brush each side with marinade.
4. Towards the end of the grilling time, add pineapple slices and grill each side for 1 minute.
5. Meanwhile, heat a separate frying pan to medium high heat. Add olive oil, a splash of the marinade and 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar. Add green beans and stir fry (7-8 minutes).
6. Plate the tuna steaks on top of 1/4 of cooked green beans. Top each steak with a pineapple slice.
7. Serve with a swirl of Sriracha on each plate and extra marinade on the side for dipping.
8. Enjoy!
