Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Pat dry the ahi tuna steaks with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coverage.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil to the pan.
Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The outside should be nicely seared while the inside remains pink.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish the sliced tuna with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve the seared ahi tuna immediately, savoring each bite with the balanced flavors of the glaze.
