Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 2
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 3
Place the tuna steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. If using a dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
Step 5
Refrigerate the tuna steaks in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours to prevent the citrus from 'cooking' the fish.
Step 6
When ready to cook, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel to help achieve a good sear.
Step 7
Cook the tuna steaks using your preferred method (grill, sear in a pan, or bake) until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
