Directions:

In a Microwavable mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, and sugar. Use a whisk to completely mix the sauce. Place in bowl of sauce in the microwave and heat on high for one and a half minutes.

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and remove the skin. Slice the avocado into thin strips, and set aside.

Pat the tuna steaks dry and liberally salt and pepper both sides.
