Ingredients

• 4 pieces tuna steaks
• 0.33 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 3

After marinating, remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing to cook.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and reserve the marinade.

Step 6

Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare center. Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness, but avoid overcooking to keep the tuna tender.

Step 7

While the tuna cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes, to use as a glaze.

Step 8

Once the tuna is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the reduced marinade glaze over the top or serve on the side.

Step 9

Garnish the tuna steaks with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
