These kebabs are delicious. The marinade is so flavorful - with sesame oil, ginger, chilies... It's pretty easy and you only need to marinate the tuna for half an hour. Big people pleaser! I found the recipe here on epicurious.
Serves 5
Ingredients:
2 pounds tuna cut into 1 inch squares
1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup peanut oil (or vegetable/canola oil)
1/3 cup Asian sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more to sprinkle on top at the end
2 serrano chile, minced (seeded if you don't want too much heat)
Freshly ground pepper
2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch squares
2 large sweet onions (such as Maui or Vidalia), cut into 1-inch squares
wooden or metal skewers
Directions:
Whisk first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Add tuna and let marinate for 30-45 minutes in the fridge. Drizzle a little sesame oil and rice vinegar over the onions and peppers and toss with a little salt and pepper. Remove the tuna from the marinade and save the marinade! Alternate onion, pepper, tuna, onion, pepper, tuna with 2-3 cubes on each skewer. Get a grill or grill pan screaming hot and cook the tuna for about a minute on each side, more if you want it more well done. Drizzle with the marinade and top with cilantro.
