Asian marinated Grilled Tuna and Summer Squash

Tuna steaks are a great fish for the grill because they hold together nicely. I like to make mine with an Asian marinade. Last week, I also reserved some of the marinade and then made it really spicy to marinate some yellow summer squash, which I also grilled. I didn't serve the spicy squash to the kids, but it was a really nice accompaniment to the fish. I rounded out the meal with some brown rice cooked in chicken stock.

Asian marinated Grilled Tuna and Summer Squash

Timing - 15 minutes, plus time to marinade the fish

Ingredients
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 t Miran (rice wine - found in the Asian section of your grocery store)
2 t sesame oil
3 yellow summer squash, sliced lengthwise into about 1/2 inch slices
1 t minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Asian hot chili sauce, such as Siracha, to taste

How to Make
Mix ingredients, soy sauce through sesame oil to make the fish marinade. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade for the vegetables. Marinate the fish for about 30 minutes to an hour.

To the remaining marinade, add the ginger, garlic and hot sauce. Marinate the squash for about 30 minutes and then brush with more marinade while grilling.

Grill the tuna steaks on a medium-high outdoor grill for about 2 minutes on the first side and another 3-7 on the other side, until it is cooked how you like it. At the same time, grill the squash on each side until it is slightly tender and has nice grill marks.
