Description

A simple yet elegant ahi tuna steak recipe enhanced with a flavorful soy ginger glaze, perfect for seafood lovers.


Ingredients

  • 2 ahi tuna steaks (6-8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
  2. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference.
  5. Brush the soy ginger glaze over the tuna steaks during the last minute of cooking.
