Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: 6-inch wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour
Preheat a charcoal grill or kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker for direct grilling over high heat.
Thread one strip of fish per skewer, brush with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and still rare in the middle, about 30 seconds per side.
Serve on platters with the dipping sauces in small bowls.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Let stand 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, chile-garlic sauce and sugar and season with pepper.
Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the ginger and red chile flakes and cook until the ginger is soft, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and lime juice and cook until the mixture is reduced by about one-quarter, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, stir in the rice vinegar and orange and limes zests and let cool to room temperature.
Add the green onions and sesame seeds just before serving.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. One wine you could try is Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 34 dollars.

Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot
Our 2006 Merlot isn't shy, with its deep, dark garnet hue and abounding aromas of rich blackcherry, cassis and clove. Approachable, integrated tannins frame the generous dark fruitflavors and coat the palate with soft velvet. The long, fruity finish, laced with autumn spices,ends with a lively cranberry zing. "This is a very classy wine from a gorgeous vintage. Takethat, Miles!" laughs Winemaker Tom Rinaldi, with a reference to the film Sideways.
