Seared Soy Tuna Steaks With Spring Onions A Ginger Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl - combine all the tuna steak marinade ingredients - soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, sliced ginger & garlic, scallions, and chilly flakes.Pro tip - Use glass or plastic, never metal when marinating. Otherwise, the acid ingredients in the marinade can react with the metal.
• Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn them over a few times to coat well. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes up to an hour. Pro tip - You can marinate the tuna for up to 3 hours in the fridge.
• Sear tuna steaks - Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let the pan become very hot. Place the two tuna steaks in the skillet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Pro tip - The pan must be smoking hot this will give a nice sear and color on the tuna.
• Cook the steak for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (medium-rare) Pro tip - You can do up to 2 minutes on each side if you like it less rare. I would not recommend more than 2 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, slice and garnish with chopped scallions.
• Serve with plain jasmine rice, a side salad, and a vegetable side dish for a complete meal.

SEARED SOY TUNA STEAKS WITH SPRING ONIONS & A GINGER SWEET POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a pan of boiling water and cook until tender.
• Drain then put back in the pot with a knob of butter and the ginger then mash until smooth. Keep warm.
• Heat a little oil in a wide pan and add the onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Move the onions to the edge of the pan and turn up the heat. Add the tuna and cook for 1 minute each side for rare, 2 for medium. Add the soy sauce to the pan and turn the tuna and onions to coat.

SOY TUNA WITH WASABI MASH

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. Pour over the tuna and marinate for at least 20 mins or up to 2 hrs in the fridge. Place the potatoes in a pan of lightly salted boiling water, then cook for 10-15 mins until soft. Drain well. Heat the milk in the pan and mix in the wasabi, return the potatoes to the pan, then mash until smooth. Stir through the spring onion and keep warm.
• Heat a non-stick griddle pan until smoking hot. Remove the tuna from the marinade. Cook on the griddle for 2-3 mins on each side until seared on the outside, but still pink inside. Cook the broad or soy beans according to pack instructions, then serve alongside the tuna and mash.

SEARED TUNA STEAKS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Spread sesame seeds in shallow baking dish or pie plate. Pat tuna steaks dry with paper towel; use 1 tablespoon oil to rub both sides of steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press both sides of each steak in sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until just beginning to smoke; swirl to coat pan. Add tuna steaks and cook 30 seconds without moving steaks. Reduce heat to medium-high; continue to cook until seeds are golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip tuna steaks; cook, without moving steaks, until golden brown on second side, about 1 1/2 minutes for rare (opaque at perimeters and translucent red and cool at center when checked with tip of paring knife) or 3 minutes for medium-rare (opaque at perimeters and reddish pink at center). To serve, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and drizzle with ginger soy sauce.
