August 27, 2005

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 1/4- pound tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick), cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 medium-sized green bell pepper
1/2 medium-sized onion, cut into eighths and separated
8 cherry tomatoes
Cooking spray

Preheat the broiler. Combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and pepper; whisk together until well blended. Add tuna to soy mixture, toss well to coat, and marinate for 1/2 hour, turning frequently.

Alternating vegetables and tuna, thread 8 12-inch skewers, reserving the marinade. Coat a broiler rack with cooking spray. Place skewers on rack and place on broiler pan. Broil no less than 5 inches from heat source for 4 minutes. Baste with marinade, turn, baste, and broil for 3 minutes longer or until opaque in center. Serve immediately.

I found that ahi tuna works best for this recipe. It soaks up the flavors of the garlic, lime and soy sauce better and won’t “cook” like yellowfin will in the lime juice.
