    In a bowl, add pineapple juice, olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, pressed garlic, honey, minced ginger, dill, chives, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients until very well blended.

    Place the tuna steaks in a large re-sealable plastic bag and pour marinade over the fish. Close the bag and gently toss it to coat the fish. Place the bag on a pie plate and transfer to the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
  • 3
    Remove the steaks from the bag and let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, pour the marinade in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and warm it up.
  • 5
    Preheat the grill between 450ºF to 475ºF and lightly oil the grates.
  • 6
    Place tuna steaks on the barbecue and cook for 2 ½ minutes. One minute later, baste them with the warm marinade. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 2 minutes or to desired doneness, basting once again. When serving them, spoon the remaining sauce over the fish.
