📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together tangerine juice, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, tangerine zest, sesame oil, and black pepper until fully combined.

2. Place the fresh tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

3. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

4. Cover the dish or seal the plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.

5. Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place them on the grill or skillet.

7. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the tuna is seared on the outside but still slightly pink in the center.

8. Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

9. Serve immediately with a fresh salad, steamed rice, or your favorite side dish.
