A ginger and sesame infused marinade brings an over-the-top flavor to hot-off-the-grill tuna steaks and sliced vegetables.

Why Try? With only one recipe and a grill, you can make an entire meal with little clean up and tons of flavor. Tuna steaks and fresh vegetables make this dish very low in carbohydrates and fat, yet satisfying and impressive.

Foodie Byte: This great marinade can be brushed on many other vegetables for grilling, like peppers or baby eggplant. If you’re not a tuna fan, try substituting salmon fillets.
