Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (optional, for garnish) Green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice to make the marinade.
Place the fresh tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over the steaks. Ensure each steak is fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for greater flavor).
Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Once the pan is hot, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place them in the pan. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your tuna more or less cooked.
Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish the tuna steaks with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
