"When my sister-in-law opened up a seafood restaurant years ago, she introduced my DH and myself to seared tuna with a raw interior. Prior to that, tuna was always cooked well done. So now, I too cook the tuna like my sister-in-law. I came up with this marinade which enhances the flavor of the tuna.(DH and MIL likes the tuna seared with a raw center, however I like them medium rare so I place mine on the grill 4-5 minutes before I put the other tuna on)."
