2. Preheat grill coated with cooking spray over high heat. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, combine cilantro, basil, lime juice, vinegar and garlic.
3. Remove tuna from bag, discarding any leftover marinade, and grill tuna for 1-1/2 min. on each side or until very pink in center (internal temperature of 145°F/65°C). Do not overcook tuna or it will become tough. Serve with remaining soy sauce mixture and top with equal amounts of cilantro mixture.
