Steps:

• Preaheat your grill or broiler.
• Mix together all the ingredients except the tuna and greens.
• Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to make a small incision on any side of the tuna steak, creating a pocket, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
• You can also make a small cut and then either wiggle the knife around gently or just start slowly easing the inside apart to create a large pocket.
• Place the tuna in the soy mixture, covering each side.
• Remove tuna from liquid, letting excess sauce drip off.
• Toss the greens with the sauce, drenching it in the liquid.
• Stuff the tuna pocket with the greens and seal the opening with toothpicks.
• Grill or broil the tuna, turning once, about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or however well-done you like your tuna.

Steps:

• Rinse and pat tuna steaks dry. Place zest on top of cutting board. Pile rosemary and parsley leaves on top of zest. Pile garlic and some coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning on top of herbs. Finely chop garlic, herbs, and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the tuna steaks just enough to coat each side. Rub herb and garlic mixture into fish, coating pieces evenly on each side. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Grill tuna steaks 6 minutes on each side or 4 minutes on each side if you prefer pink tuna at the center. Cook steaks over high setting on indoor electric grill, medium high heat on outdoor gas grill or 6 inches from hot, prepared charcoal.
• GRILLED STUFFED PORTABELLOS:.
• Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
• Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400°F or "HIGH" setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
• Combine tomatoes, rosemary and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss. Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425°F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or slightly crusty bread to catch juices.
