Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a light simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue simmering until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set the glaze aside.
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to the hot pan.
Sear the tuna steaks in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your tuna more well-done.
Brush the seared tuna steaks generously with the teriyaki glaze during the last minute of cooking on each side.
Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors.
Plate the tuna steaks and drizzle any remaining glaze on top. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
