Tuna Steaks


I just tried this out tonight. It is quite delicious!

1 4-6oz frozen or fresh tuna steak (DO NOT THAW IF FROZEN)
2 TBSP low sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 TBSP walnut or sesame oil
1 TBSP oil
4 garlic cloves
ginger
sea salt
pepper

whisk soy sauce, walnut oil, fresh graded ginger- lots of ginger, & garlic in a small bowl. Then add ingredients to a ziplock bag and place the tuna steaks in ziplock and coat steaks evenly with mixture. Let sit in mixture for 30minutes in refrigerator.

Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. season steaks with sea salt and pepper. Add seasoned steaks to the hot oil. Cook on each side 2-3 minutes- No longer. You want the steaks medium rare.

Serve with mixed greens or green beans :)

Why don't you thaw your tuna steaks? because if you do, they will be tough and that's one thing you don't want you tuna steaks to be.
