Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 whole lime (cut into wedges)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning once to ensure both sides are coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and sprinkle them evenly with black pepper.
Carefully place the tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. The outside should be browned and the inside rare to medium-rare.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tuna steaks in the last minute of cooking, allowing them to lightly toast.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute before slicing.
Garnish the seared tuna with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your gluten-free seared tuna steak with your choice of sides.
