Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish) Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Season both sides of the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna steaks into the skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time if you prefer more well-done tuna. Remove the steaks and set aside.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, add the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 7
Gradually whisk the slurry into the citrus sauce. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
Step 8
Plate the tuna steaks and drizzle the citrus sauce over the top.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
