Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Rinse and pat dry the tuna steaks with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring that they are coated evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag and let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Sear the tuna steaks in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. They should be golden brown on the outside and slightly pink in the center.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the tuna steaks immediately, garnished with a lemon wedge or fresh herbs if desired.
