Method

Preparation of Tuna

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Tuna

    Place the fresh tuna steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Tuna

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the marinade and place it on the hot grill or pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it well done.

  3. 5

    Rest the Tuna

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the tuna from the grill or pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Slice the tuna steaks and arrange them on a plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

  2. 7

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the Gochu Tuna with steamed rice and pickled radish on the side, if desired.
