These pan-seared tuna steaks are served medium-rare and taste fancy but are very easy to cook. A sprinkling of cracked black pepper is a good finisher for this dish. This makes for a quick and delicious dinner after a long day with almost no effort.
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
Place tuna steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks, coat with marinade, and seal. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
Remove steaks from marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Arrange steaks in the hot pan; gently shake the pan to avoid sticking. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more.
The marinade can be made in a bowl the night before, covered, and refrigerated overnight. In the morning, shake the marinade, pour it into a bag, add the tuna steaks, squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag. Refrigerate all day and remove the bag from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
You can substitute brown sugar or honey, but I've tried all three and think molasses is the best. You can also substitute 1 teaspoon of ginger powder, but fresh ginger is much better.
The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of marinade. The actual amount consumed will vary.
