Method

  1. Put the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the garlic and sesame oil, remove from the heat and cool. Cover the tuna steaks with the marinade and leave for 1 hour.
  2. Barbecue the tuna steaks for 1 minute each side for rare, 2 for medium, basting constantly with the marinade, until charred and sticky on the outside.
  3. Barbeque the bok choy halves cut-side down for 2 minutes. Put in a bowl and squeeze over lime juice and a little oil and scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve with the tuna.

    Loved this recipe, made it on the barbeque during the summer and have made it since, cooking it in a non-stick frying pan. I added the marinade to the pan at the end to produce a glaze and served it with noodles and stir fried bean sprouts, mange tout, baby sweetcorn, garlic and spring onions.

    This is an amazing recipe. I have done it several times now and still love it. It can be very sweet so I used less brown sugar, still tastes wonderful.

    Not bad - I didn't find the marinade to be anything particularly special, but the taste of the bok choi when a bit charred was delicious.

    I made it with tuna first time and it was lovely. Then I thought I would give it a go with steak as well.... It was even better! The marinade is beautiful and I have also tried it with chicken (nice, but not as nice as the steak or tuna).

    Forgot to say... You definitely don't need 4 tablespoons of sugar - I've made this several times and only ever use 2 and it's plenty sweet enough.

    This was so tasty! Marinaded the tuna for a couple of hours then griddled over moderate heat around 2 minutes each side. Heated marinade in a saucepan and poured over cooked tuna and served with stir-fried broccoli. (btw recipe should say 20mins + marinading time!)

    Forgot to say I also used 2 tbsp of sugar, 4 would be extremely sweet.

    Wow, this is a gorgeous recipe. I love tuna steak anyway but this is my new favourite dish - easy, tasty and doesn't need loads of exotic ingredients! I swapped the brown sugar for 3 teaspoons of honey and used sesame seeds as I'd run out of sesame oil. Served with the balsamic roasted tomatoes also a GF recipe and focacia. Recommend highly!

    Amazing! I also used a little less sugar, and only marinaded for 20 mins as I didn't have the time to wait. It still had lots of flavour.

    One of the nicest tuna recipes I've tried. Cooked indoors on a griddle, but will try it on a barbecue next summer. Recommended.

    Very nice - I just grilled them also as being January not the weather for a barbie! It doesn't say whether to use Dark or Light soy sauce, I only had Dark. I think this tasted a little overpowering so will use Light next time. Hubby loved it, will make it again for sure.

    The tuna was absolutely scrumptious, although I made half the recipe and used honey instead of brown sugar. Also woked the bok choi. It barked at a few squirrels, but was basically a good boy.
