Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add butter, 1/4 cup cilantro, 2 teaspoons gingerroot, and garlic. Process until smooth. Shape mixture into a log. Wrap in wax paper, and chill until firm.
  2. Place tuna steaks in a shallow dish. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons gingerroot, brown sugar, and next 6 ingredients in a medium bowl; pour over tuna steaks. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.
  3. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, reserving marinade. Place grill rack on grill over medium-hot coals (350° to 400°). Place tuna on rack; grill, covered, 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Transfer tuna to serving plates.
  4. Divide chilled butter mixture into 6 pieces; place 1 piece of butter mixture on each tuna steak. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired.
