This is a concotion made up by my husband. It's quite tasty and worth the effort. I'm sure the marinade would be good with any type of tuna, we just happened to have yellow fin on hand. Preparation time does not include marinating, and is only an estimate...how fast can one dice?! Broil time is APPROXIMATE, depending on thickness of tuna - you may need to scale it back to 3-4 minutes per side, use your judgement! BTW, the relish does make a lot, I usually make it as stated, just to have some extra to use the next day on something else, you may want to halve it though, depending on your needs! Ingredients:
2 (6 ounce) fresh yellowfin tuna steaks |
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper |
3 ounces toasted sesame seeds (more if you prefer) |
3/4 cup peanut oil |
1 ounce sesame oil |
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
2 tablespoons rice wine |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon chinese five spice powder |
1 ounce freshly grated gingerroot |
1 cup diced roma tomato |
1/2 cup diced celery |
1/2 cup diced red pepper |
1/2 cup diced red onion |
1 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
1 teaspoon pepper (to taste) |
2 tablespoons chopped parsley |
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro |
1 teaspoon celery seed |
1 pinch cinnamon |
1 pinch nutmeg |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 tablespoon mild cider vinegar (or to taste) |
2 largelimes, juice |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a plastic bag.
2. Marinate tuna steaks for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
3. While tuna is marinating, mix all ingredients up for the relish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Toss again before serving.
4. Generously pepper both sides of tuna steaks.
5. Pre-heat broiler and broil steaks for 5-6 minutes per side, use your judgment, you do not want to overcook - broilers vary!
6. Dredge cooked steaks in toasted sesame seeds and top with relish.
7. Enjoy.
