Savory Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks Recipe

Savory Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks Recipe

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed
  1. Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
  2. Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
