Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces fresh tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
Place the tuna steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring it's evenly coated. Allow the tuna to marinate for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Remove the tuna from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare result. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness, being careful not to overcook to maintain the low-fat tenderness.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your sweet and spicy low-fat tuna with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
