Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Add the tuna and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the tuna from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Preheat a grill or broiler.
- Step 2
In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the greens and cook until wilted. Add the water, salt and pepper. Cook just until greens are tender. Set aside and keep warm.
- Step 3
Drain the tuna steaks and pat them dry. Brush with the remaining olive oil. Grill or broil until charred on the outside but still pink in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Place a piece of tuna over the greens. Top with some of the pickled ginger and serve immediately.

Comments
This was good but I noticed that the recipe calls for tuna cubes and the directions refer to tuna steaks. I would use sesame oil instead of olive oil for a bit more Oriental flavor.
Also, isn't this a duplicate of a recipe attributed to Bryan Miller?
