If grilling, set aside a portion of the marinade. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook tuna on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn and brush marinade over the cooked sides. Cook 2 more minutes for rare, 2 to 4 more minutes for medium-rare to medium, and 4 more minutes for medium to medium-well.
