Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

For sauce
2 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1/3 cup chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
six 6-ounce 1-inch-thick tuna steaks

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • In a large saucepan combine citrus juices, tamari or soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and gingerroot and simmer 15 minutes. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl. (Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat sauce before preceeding.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F..
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Coat 2 tuna steaks with sesame seeds and sear 1 minute on each side, transferring to a baking sheet. Coat and sear remaining 4 tuna steaks in batches in same manner. Cook tuna in middle of oven 3 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Cut each tuna steak into 4 slices and arrange slices, cut side up, on 6 plates. Pour about 1/4 cup sauce around tuna on each plate.

I didn't have any orange zest on hand, so I used lemon zest instead. It worked just fine.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in the sauce. It still turned out great.

This seared tuna dish with oriental citrus sauce was an absolute delight! The tuna was cooked perfectly, with a nice sear on the outside and a tender, juicy inside. The sauce was also amazing, with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors
