Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. This will be your marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring that both sides are well coated. Allow the tuna to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning once.
While the tuna marinates, prepare the curry chive mayonnaise. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, curry powder, and chopped chives until well combined. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Carefully place the tuna steaks into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the seared tuna topped with a dollop of the curry chive mayonnaise and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the dish.
