Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the fresh tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the steaks are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

  2. 4

    Add the tuna steaks to the hot skillet or grill pan. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired for more doneness.

  3. 5

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice the seared tuna steaks into thin strips and arrange them on a serving platter.

  2. 7

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top as garnish. Serve immediately.
