Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sear the Tuna

    Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare for Serving

    Once cooked, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the tuna steaks against the grain into thin slices.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sliced tuna. Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
