Grilled Tuna With Cilantro Butter

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons peeled, minced gingerroot, divided
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 6 (4-ounce) tuna steaks (3/4 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup dark sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

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 (350u0b0 to 400u0b0). 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.
