Korean Style Seared Tuna Recipes

KOREAN-STYLE SEARED TUNA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, and broth.
• In a small sauce pan, heat sesame oil.
• Stir in the green onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.
• Add the soy sauce mixture; simmer until reduced to approximately 1/3 cup.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish with the salt and black pepper.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan over moderately high heat.
• Add the tuna and cook until brown, about 3 minutes.
• Turn and cook the fish until done to your taste.
• (This is best with the tuna still very pink in the center.) When done, cut the tuna into slices and serve with the sauce.

TUNA GRILLED KOREAN-STYLE

Steps:

• In a plastic bag combine all ingredients except the tuna. Mix the marinade in the bag until combined and add the tuna, coating it completely. Seal the bag, refrigerate, and let the tuna marinate for 1 to 2 hours, turning it occasionally.
• Preheat a grill, or broiler with rack in the top position.
• Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Discard the marinade and grill the tuna (or broil it on a rack set in a baking pan) for 3 minutes on each side until medium rare.
• Serve immediately.
