Servings: 2
Ingredients
Salad:
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup mango diced
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Tuna:
- 2 tuna steaks
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger shredded or minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- fresh cracked black pepper
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place tuna steak in a bag or container. Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, olive oil, and water. Shake up and well coat tuna. Let sit at least 10 minutes or longer in the refrigerator.
- Make salad. Add arugula, romaine, and mango to a large bowl.
- Mix balsamic, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Take tuna steak out of the fridge. Wipe off excess ginger and garlic.
- Generously season both sides of tuna steak with black pepper and sesame seeds. Don’t be afraid to use too much. We want it well coated on both sides to make a nice crust form.
- Heat a skillet on high heat with some olive oil for searing about 3 tablespoons. Use your judgment.
- Once the skillet is hot sear tuna on both sides for one and a half minutes per side to get the perfect medium-rare tuna steak.
- Plate and enjoy!
