teaspoon sesame oil
1 pound tuna steak 1" thk
cup hoisin sauce
cup catsup
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Preparation

1 Grilling Vinaigrette: Mix well and allowed to sit at room temperature to enhance its flavor. 2 Combine the Grilling Vinaigrette, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a non-reactive bowl. Add the tuna steak and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning the tuna once or twice. 3 Smoke the tuna for 45 to 50 minutes. Chill to serve. Serve with dipping sauce. 4 Dipping Sauce: Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. 5 Comments: Tuna is a good choice for smoking because it has a high fat content. It is especially tasty with an Oriental-style dipping sauce.
