Marinated and Seared Tuna Recipe

Serves/Makes: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 tuna steaks, about 6 ounces each
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin (seasoning sauce)
• 1 tablespoon sake (rice wine)
• 1 teaspoon caster (superfine) sugar
• 2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon oil
• Chopped coriander leaves, for garnish

How to cook Marinated and Seared Tuna:

• Mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger and lemon juice together in a jug.
• Put the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and spoon the marinade over the top. Turn the fish in the marinade, ensuring it is well coated.
• Cover and leave to marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue hotplate until hot. Lift the tuna out of the marinade and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to the boil and reduce for 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, lightly oil the surface of the chargrill pan and add the tuna steaks. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side so that the tuna is cooked on the outside but still pink in the middle.
• Serve the grilled tuna steaks with some of the marinade spooned over the top and garnished with coriander.
• Great with rice and steamed vegetables.
