This is from the south beach cookbook and OMFG this was amazing.


1 can (8 oz) pineapple chunks in juice
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound tuna steaks 3/4" to 1" thick
1 navel orange, peeled and cut into 8 pieces
4 cherry tomatoes

Drain the juice from the pineapple into a measuring cup and set the chunks aside. Add enough water to the pineapple juice to make 3/4 cup. Add the soy sauce, oil, ginger, pepper flakes, and garlic. Stir to combine.

Set aside 2 tablespoons of marinade. Pour the remaining mixture into a zip lock bag with the tuna steaks and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Coat a grill rack w cooking spray. Prehead the grill to medium. Place the fish on the prepared rack and grill, brushing the remaining marinade for 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily.

During the last 3 minutes of cooking, place the skewers on the grill. Grill, turning and brushing with the marinade for 3 minutes or until hot.

Had the Ahi Tuna for dinner w/ the fruit skewers!

SO DELICIOUS! Very very easy :D
I let it marinate while I got food ready for tomorrow, did laundry... and then cooked the skewers on the hot grill for 2 minutes, threw on the tuna steaks and seared on each side for, literally, 30 seconds each side.

Ulter and I love it. Very nice!
