SAVORY PAN-SEARED TUNA STEAKS

These marinated tuna steaks, served rare, taste 'fancy' but are very easy to cook. Even my husband, who doesn't like most cooked fish, enjoys these steaks. A sprinkling of cracked black pepper is a good finisher for this dish.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed

Steps:

Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 fresh tuna steaks, each about 8 ounces and 3/4 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat tuna
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon finely diced red and/or yellow pepper
1 large bunch fresh arugula

Steps:

Rub tuna with olive oil, salt, and plenty of pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine butter, capers, and diced peppers. Turn mixture onto a square of parchment or wax paper, and roll into a log about 1/2-inch in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Heat an iron skillet slowly over low heat until very hot (a few drops of water splashed in the pan should evaporate almost immediately). Arrange tuna in skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. It should be well browned and crisp on the outside and rare to medium on the inside.
Arrange arugula on plates or platter. Place tuna on top with a slice of caper butter on each steak. Serve immediately.
