 NOTES : A Hawaiian specialty, Grilled Sweet-and-Sour Tuna Steaks is perfect for
outdoor grilling or indoor broiling. Make the sauce ahead of time and let the
tuna steaks marinate for 30 to 60 minutes before grilling so that they really
absorb the tangy flavor. If you use mesquite charcoal on the grill, the tuna
takes on a teryaki taste from the smoke as it cooks. Grill the tuna only until
it turns a dull pink color inside and browns nicely on the outside.
