Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fresh tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Chili paste (sugar-free)
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the tuna steaks in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, chili flakes, and sugar-free chili paste. Mix well to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 1 minute.
Return the tuna steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve the spicy tuna steaks hot, garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
