Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
6 5- to 6-ounce tuna steaks
2 5-ounce bags mixed baby greens
1 bunch radishes, trimmed, sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Stir soy sauce and brown sugar in pie dish until sugar dissolves. Using mortar and pestle or spice mill, coarsely grind peppercorns. Dip both sides of tuna steaks in soy mixture. Sprinkle both sides of tuna generously with peppercorns, pressing to adhere. Grill tuna to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.

    Step 2
