Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) fresh tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks, chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks, searing them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness. For medium-rare tuna, aim for 2 minutes per side.
Step 4
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the tuna steaks and allow them to slightly toast in the pan.
Step 5
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 6
Garnish the tuna steaks with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
