Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Yellowfin tuna steaks
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 8 ounces Soba noodles
• 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, garlic, lime juice, and red chili flakes. Divide the mixture into two portions: one for marinating the tuna and the other for tossing with the noodles.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour one portion of the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway for even flavor.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes). Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil.

Step 5

Remove the tuna from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

In the same skillet or a serving bowl, toss the cooked soba noodles with the reserved marinade, scallions, and sesame seeds until evenly coated and fragrant.

Step 8

To assemble, divide the noodles onto two plates. Slice the seared tuna steaks thinly and arrange on top of the noodles. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and scallions if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Seared Tuna with Ginger Noodles!
