Korean-Style Seared Tuna image

I pulled this off the web and it has become one my absolute favourite recipes. We have it at least once a month, sometimes more. Guests never fail to ask for the recipe. Note that prep time and cook time are approximations. It's a very quick and easy recipe.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 cup canned chicken broth or 1/2 cup homemade stock
4 tuna steaks, about 1 ",thick
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 green onion, including green top chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

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.
