Ingredients
- 1 pound sushi-grade Ahi tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, and vegetable oil to create the glaze.
- Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over high heat until very hot.
- Add the tuna steak to the hot skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for more well-done.
- Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
- Slice the tuna steak against the grain.
- Drizzle the Asian glaze over the sliced tuna.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
For best flavor, source the freshest Ahi tuna. Marinating the tuna in the glaze for 30 minutes can enhance the taste.
