Picked up some beautiful tuna steaks today at a great price. I'd like to
marinate/broil them. Any ideas for a marinade? I found a lot on the web,
but I'm hoping for a personal recommendation. Something light, not too
strong. Maybe a lime juice thing? But would the lime juice cause it to
prematurely go the way of ceviche?

Thanks,
MK

mmm, lucky you. They cost a fortune here in Toronto. But, when I break
down and buy them I marinate them in:

soy sauce
juice of a lime
sesame oil
tb of brown sugar

I think that's it. Yum!

I'm late replying for the tuna dinner you had the other night but still
wanted to mention what I use for a marinade: Dale's Steak Sauce. It's also
great for swordfish steaks.

I marinate the steaks for a half hour or so and then throw them on the
grill.

Using Dale's is definitely cheating but it tastes great and nothing else is
easier.
