Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tuna steaks
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Finely slice the green onions for garnish and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the teriyaki sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean and lower the heat to medium. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet and let it warm up for about 1 minute.

Step 7

Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet. Spoon the teriyaki sauce over the steaks and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Plate the tuna steaks, drizzle them with extra teriyaki sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice and vegetables, if desired.
