Recipe ingredients

  • Marinade
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) Irresistibles rice vinegar*
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) soya sauce*
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sake (or white wine)
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sugar*
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 x 5 oz ( 4 x 150 g) fresh tuna steaks 1-in. (2 cm) thick
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) sesame seeds
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) tapenade black olives
  • To taste 1 lemon, quartered

Preparation

Mix together all marinade ingredients and put in the tuna steaks. Refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
In a frying pan, toast the sesame seeds on low heat. Set aside. Remove the steaks from the marinade and brush them with the tapenade. Run then through the roasted sesame seeds.
On high, heat a frying pan with grooved bottom. Once the pan is very hot, seize the tuna steaks for a few minutes on each side (based on the desired degree of doneness).

Suggestion

Marinating Time: 1-4 hours.
Avoid over cooking the tuna as it could become dry and less tasty.
Serve with the lemon quarters on a bed of sautéed Chinese noodles seasoned with soya sauce.
