Best Tom Yum Tuna Steak Recipes

TOM YUM TUNA

Tom Yum Tuna image

This isn't exactly an authentic recipe, but what's a girl to do when there's not much in the larder and people are clamouring for their dinner?! I bought a jar of tom yum paste, and was desperate to try it out. I know it's meant to be used for soup, but we didn't fancy soup at the time, so it it became the guest of honour in a tuna casserole sort of thing. And very nice it was, too! Serve this Tom Yum Tuna stirred through rice or noodles - and if there are any leftovers, you can always dilute them with vegetable stock and make soup :-)

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.

TOM YUM TUNA STEAK

This is so good. Tuna melts in your mouth and the sauce has it all umami, sweet, spicy, salty and great with the slight bitterness of the arugula then finished off with that little bit of creamy sweetness.
