Vince bought tuna steaks on sale yesterday so he was going to grill them today.
Tuna Steaks
I asked him if he happened to pick up any ginger because I like to marinate them in a ginger/soy sauce mixture. He said no, he didn’t think about that but he would run to the store and get some. I told him I hadn’t pulled up my ginger yet so I’d run out and get some. I grabbed a sprig from around the edge of the container . . which was all we needed for the two steaks.
Fresh Ginger
Fresh, tender ginger is so much more potent than some I buy that’s very woody and has dried out a bit. I came in with the sprigs and said “You’re lucky you have me for a wife! How many people have fresh ginger growing?”
He said “I can’t imagine having anyone else for a wife!” I hope he meant that in a good way! 🙂
Tuna
The sliced ginger was placed under the bottom steak, between the two steaks and the a low sodium soy sauce was poured over it all. I turned it a couple of times during the day.
I forgot to take pictures but it was perfect. Vince grilled it to a perfect rare! We split one steak so we have one left. I’ll sear it, then cut it into chunks and put it on top of salads tomorrow. He bought the steaks on sale for $6 so our meal tonight cost us $3 for the meat. Can’t beat that.

Where do you order your ginger for planting?
Cilla Tyler says
Looks like great tuna. Have you tried it raw after the marinade? YUM!

This isn’t sushi grade. It wouldn’t be bad but it wouldn’t be as good as a better grade so no, we don’t eat this one raw. We can buy a better grade that has never been frozen when we go to San Angelo but that’s the closest place.
Cilla Tyler says
I’ve lived in Japan and here in the Northeast and I’ve found the sushi grade fish have been flash frozen then thawed that day for consumption. What is not frozen are the scallops and sea urchins.
Judy Laquidara says
We can get it that has never been frozen but just not in our town.

Very economical and healthy. I’m SURE Vince meant that in a good way!

How sweet of Vince to say such a nice comment.
