Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a glass or ceramic pan, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Add the tuna, turning it in the pan to cover with the marinade. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least one hour, but not more than two hours. Turn the tuna from time to time. Drain, reserving the marinade.

  2. Step 2

    To prepare, preheat a charcoal grill or broiler until as hot as possible. Grill the tuna on one side for one to two minutes. Turn and grill another one to two minutes. The tuna should be seared on the outside and almost raw within.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, cut the tuna into quarter-inch slices. Place each slice on a piece of daikon and top with a shaving of pickled ginger. Spoon a bit of the marinade over the cooked tuna.

Way too salty.

I made a quick and dirty version of this with what I had – low sodium soy sauce, a little brandy, – and it was way too salty! I like the idea, but the proportions need work.

Or use unsalted tamari and serve over rice.

This needs to be served over mashed potatoes to soak up the extra marinade (not rice); otherwise great!
