Tandori Tuna Recipe
By chazfitzm1
I recently made this dish after finding an unused jar of Tandori paste in my cupboard. It took 10 minutes ( – the marinating time) and was delicious.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Sahsimi Quality Tuna Steaks
- 1 Tablespoon Tandori Paste
- 1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin (Japanese cooking Wine)
- 1 tablespoon of canola oil or clarified butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients, except the Tuna, until evenly incorporated
- Put the Tuna steaks in a ziplock bag just large enough to hold them
- Pour in the marinade and place in the fridge for 2 to 6 hours
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat on an outside grill or burner until it is too hot to hold your hand over for 2 seconds, if you have a hood and fan you can make it inside, but be prepared for a lot of smoke
- Pour the cold canola oil into the pan and swirl to coat.
- Add the Tuna Steaks placing them down away from your body
- Sear for two minutes on the first side, flip and sear for one minute on the second
- For a sauce pour the remaining marinade into the empty pan off the heat and immediatley drizzle over the Tuna Steaks
- Slice across the grain of the meat and serve over rice or soba noodles with steamed or sauteed vegetables
- Garnish with chives or chopped cilantro if desired
