"After sampling some wonderful tuna at a Japanese restaurant, I decided to try my hand at coming up with the recipe," says Michelle Dennis of Clarks Hill, Indiana. "It took a little trial and error, but I was pleased with the results—these seasonings are a lovely complement to the tuna."

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

Directions

1. 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.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill tuna, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
