Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. This will be your marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring that both sides are well coated. Allow the tuna to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning once.
Step 3
While the tuna marinates, prepare the curry chive mayonnaise. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, curry powder, and chopped chives until well combined. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Carefully place the tuna steaks into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the seared tuna topped with a dollop of the curry chive mayonnaise and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the dish.
