Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a marinade.

Step 2

Pat dry the ahi tuna steaks with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coverage.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil to the pan.

Step 5

Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The outside should be nicely seared while the inside remains pink.

Step 6

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Garnish the sliced tuna with thinly sliced green onions.

Step 8

Serve the seared ahi tuna immediately, savoring each bite with the balanced flavors of the glaze.
