Grilled Tuna Steaks

Serves 4

4 small Tuna steaks (or 2 medium, or 1 large)
2 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Ginger Root, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. White Pepper
4 tablespoon Cornstarch, divided
4 tsp. Green Chilies
1/4 cup Water
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup Peanut oil
1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
1 cup Chicken Broth
2 Green Onions, thinly sliced (include green tops)
Spinach or Leaf Lettuce for garnish
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Mix salt, ginger, and white pepper together in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the fish with the mixture, and rub about one tablespoon of the cornstarch on the sides of the steaks. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Mix the green chilies with the remaining tablespoons of the cornstarch, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanut oil, minced garlic, and chicken broth, and blend well. Bring to a boil and stir constantly, until thickened a bit. Cool and reserve for basting while grilling the tuna steaks.

To prepare the green onions, cut them into thin, vertical, string-like slices and reserve for a garnish. Prepare the grill for moderate cooking. Brush the grates of the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the tuna steaks about 4 or 5 minutes on each side, making sure to baste frequently with the prepared liquid.

Grilling time will vary with the thickness of the steaks; estimate 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Line a serving platter with spinach or lettuce leaves, and place the fish on the bed of greens, garnishing with the green onion strings.

* NOTE:
This recipe adds a bit of Oriental flair to your outdoor cooking regime. The tuna steaks readily accept the hot and sweet flavor of the sauce to produce a savory main course uniquely prepared on the grill.
