Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) fresh tuna steak
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Finely chop the green onions, separating the green and white parts.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coating.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the tuna steaks.
Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare to medium-rare finish, or longer if desired. Remove and set the steaks aside to rest.
In the same skillet, pour the remaining marinade and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice the tuna steaks into thin strips and drizzle the thickened marinade over them. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, the green parts of the green onions, and a splash of lemon juice.
Serve immediately with rice, salad, or vegetables of your choice.
