Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) fresh tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks, chopped green onions
Instructions
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks, searing them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness. For medium-rare tuna, aim for 2 minutes per side.
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the tuna steaks and allow them to slightly toast in the pan.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish the tuna steaks with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
