Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Yellowfin tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 ounces Soba noodles
- 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, garlic, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Divide the mixture into two portions: one for marinating the tuna and the other for tossing with the noodles.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour one portion of the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway for even flavor.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes). Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet or a serving bowl, toss the cooked soba noodles with the reserved marinade, scallions, and sesame seeds until evenly coated and fragrant.
To assemble, divide the noodles onto two plates. Slice the seared tuna steaks thinly and arrange on top of the noodles. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and scallions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Seared Tuna with Ginger Noodles!
