Description
Discover the perfect balance of seared ahi tuna and a delectable Asian glaze in this quick and easy recipe. The tender, juicy tuna is coated in a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy sauce, creating an irresistible flavor combination that’s ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
– 1 lb ahi tuna steaks
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– 2 green onions, sliced
– Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1. Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the outside is nicely browned but the center is still pink.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the Asian glaze into the pan. Gently spoon the glaze over the tuna to coat it evenly.
5. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning the tuna occasionally, until the glaze has thickened slightly.
6. Remove from heat and transfer the seared ahi tuna to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use the freshest ahi tuna available. If the tuna is not very thick, reduce the searing time to avoid overcooking. The glaze can be made in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to use.
