Ingredients
- 15 ounces teriyaki sauce (average 2 grams sugar per serving)
- 3 ounces sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
- 2 pounds fresh tuna steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (This will keep them from burning later). Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Submerge tuna cubes in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to high.
- Remove tuna from marinade and skewers from water, and thread tuna onto skewers. Place skewers on the edges of the grill with the longest part of the stick hanging off the edge away from the fire. Stay close by and turn the sticks by hand to keep from burning. Brochettes are done in just 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Awesomely good! To cool outside to get the grill marks but outstanding nonetheless. Thank you for sharing.
I loved this recipe made it over the fall, and allowed the tuna to marinade a litttle longer (4hours total when my husband put it on the grill it ended up carmelizing it a little. While i loved the texture, i think i will look for reduced sodium the next time it was a little saltier than i am accustomed to with the regular teriyaki sauce , i am sure the extra marinade time did not help however. Neverthless, that was recipe’s fault, it was mine! Very good and definately one of my favorite tuna dishes.
excellent! my familys favorite new tuna recipe.
Chinese? Japanese? Who cares! This came out perfectly and tasted GREAT! I didn’t cut the tuna in chunks but kept them as steaks, cooked for 4 minutes on each side and never tasted a better tuna recipe ever.
Don’t know why this recipe was put on a show for CHINESE food….. Teriyaki is Japanese. Recipe looks decent though. However in Japan we make our own Teriyaki sauce and never is lemon an ingredient.
These did not turn out as expected.
Taste was excellent & very filling
Had shellfish before but never tuna. First time for everything expanding my tastes buds. I tried and I will make it again simple and easy and didn’t take long to cook. Used out side grill so I’m sure it gave it a more smokey taste but it was definatley a keeper for the recipe.
This receipe was so easy and tasty. My husband did not even suspect that this dinner was low carb. It was full of flavor and quick. Not a lot of time in the heat at the grill and no need to turn on the stove. And the clean up was very small. Less time cooking more time enjoying my family. Thank You.
