Pan Seared Marinated Toasted Sesame Asian Tuna Steaks

 

 

 

Ecclesiastes 9:9-10

[9] Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. [10] Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

4 Tuna steaks (3 inch x 3 inch)

1 hour Marinade

1/8 c each of Hoisin and Sweet Chili Thai Sauce

2 t Soy sauce

1 Scallion, diced

1/2 t toasted sesame oil

1/2 t rice vinegar 

2 T brown sugar

1 t roasted mashed garlic

1 T sushi Ginger, chopped 

1/4 t red pepper flakes

1 t toasted sesame seeds 

Mix and add Tuna.

Leave on counter so Tuna will be room temp and cook evenly.

1 t grape seed oil

Large skillet, heat on medium, add Tuna.

Do not overcook.

Tuna should be velvety and buttery in middle.

Look at side of Tuna steak, you will see it changing color.

When it's 1/4 way color change flip.

I only cook mine 3 minutes each side, remove from heat, tent with foil and let sit 5 minutes.

You can bring marinade to a boil, slightly cool and use as a finishing sauce if preferred.

Serve with Gurkensalat* and Ginger Cilantro rice*!
