This is a wonderful, easy, and tasty way to prepare tuna steaks on the grill. I remember the first time I ate a tuna steak, was at a restaurant in N.C., and it was slathered with this herb butter. I remember thinking, why ruin a beautiful tuna steak by adding all that fat, when it doesn't even need it to taste incredible! This marinade adds just the right amount of flavor without piling on the fat...which leads to packing on the pounds!!!

TERIYAKI TUNA



Teriyaki Tuna image

This is a pan seared tuna dish that is best served with grated carrots.

Provided by IRACKAWAY

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup teriyaki sauce
1 ½ pounds sashimi grade tuna steaks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons sea salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 carrot, grated

Steps:

  • Pour the teriyaki sauce into a shallow dish or bowl, and place tuna steaks in the sauce to marinate. Cover, and allow to marinate for about 45 minutes at room temperature. The steaks will cook more evenly if they are not cold.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place tuna steaks in the hot oil, and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Squeeze juice from the lemon over the steaks, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. When the bottom is light brown, flip the steaks, and cook until browned on the other side. The center will still be slightly red. Season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Place the tuna steaks onto serving plates, and garnish with grated carrots. Serve the pan drippings as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of white streaks, as these will be less flavorful.
  • Marinate the tuna steak for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and make it more tender. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and brown sugar is a good option.
  • Sear the tuna steak over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside rare. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the tuna steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the tuna steak with your favorite sides. Some popular options include steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, and a side of ponzu sauce.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki tuna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, teriyaki tuna is sure to please. With its bold flavors and tender texture, teriyaki tuna is a dish that everyone will love.
