Ingredients

Tuna Steaks

4 pieces tuna steaks about 6 ounces each

Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated

Garnish

2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
2 stalks green onions sliced

Method

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Marinate the Tuna

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Sear the Tuna

Heat a skillet over high heat. Remove tuna from the marinade and sear each steak for 1-2 minutes on each side, until browned but still rare in the center.

Slice and Serve

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute. Slice thinly against the grain and serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
