Shame on me for not writing a post in such a long time. Poor Form. But I am back and have brought you something very nifty and full of glee. Tuna. Now, I know that there are some of you out there that do not like to eat Tuna because of the over-fishing etc. And I think you are generally right. If I can, I tried to avoid eating Tuna as much as possible, as it really is a wild animal and there is no evidence of farming as of yet. However, sometimes you just have to let your morals slip away and treat your tastebuds to something as exquisite as this feisty fish.
This recipe yields enough for about 2 people. But you can stretch it to 3 if need be. You will need:
1 Tuna Steak, about 400 grams. (If your budget allows it, try to go for ahi Tuna or some other sushi grade tuna. It really makes a difference)
6 tbl spoons of soy sauce
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbl spoons Miso paste
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 garlic clove
2 cm of ginger
Half of an orange.
Salt
Pepper
chop the garlic and ginger quite finely and place onto Tuna (Tuna should be in a dish). Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, Miso paste, vinegar and squeeze some juice from the lemon into it as well. Once all of the liquids have combined, pour onto Tuna and season with salt and pepper. Let sit for about an hour. Don't let it sit too long or else the acids will start the cooking process and you will have ceviche. Next heat a heavy pan with about 1 tblsp of olive oil. When the pan is REALLY hot, slide in the Tuna and cook for about 90 seconds on each side, so that the outside is nice and brown and the inside is dark dark pink. Take out of pan and cut into slices. Drizzle this with the leftover marinade, or make a wasabi sauce out of some wasabi paste, Joghurt and mayo. Whisk those together and use as dipping sauce.
A nice salad and other veggies go will with this meal, along with rice or potatoes.
