Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ahi tuna loin, cut into 2 pieces
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil

Directions

  1. Combine ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Reserve ¼ cup and add tuna to larger amount of mixture and toss to coat. Drain tuna and set aside.

  3. Rub grate with remaining oil and place on heated chimney. Add tuna and cook 15–30 seconds or until desired doneness is achieved.
  4. Remove to a plate and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rest 3 minutes.
