Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons sherry or chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Remove 1/3 cup to a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tuna. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

Grill tuna, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
