Grilled Tuna Belly

Grilled Tuna Belly is marinated overnight in a sweet and spicy mixture of lemon juice, garlic, chili sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and pepper. It is then grilled until medium to medium-well doneness is achieved.

Ingredients

  • 1 kilo tuna belly cut into serving portions
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ⅛ pepper

Instructions

  • Wash tuna belly and pat dry.
  • In a bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic, chili sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Stir until well-blended.
  • Add tuna and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning fish occasionally in the marinade. Drain tuna, reserving the liquid.
  • In a sauce pot, bring marinade to a boil for about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • On lightly-greased grates over hot coals, arrange tuna in a single layer. Grill, basting regularly with marinade, for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork and slightly caramelized.
  • Remove from heat and serve hot.
