Ingredients
- 2 tuna steaks about 6-8 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
- Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a shallow dish, pour the soy sauce and olive oil. Mix well.
- Place the tuna steaks in the dish, coating them with the soy sauce and olive oil mixture. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully place the tuna steaks in the pan. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For rare tuna, aim for a shorter cooking time. If you prefer it more well-done, you can cook it for a bit longer.
- Once seared, remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Slice the tuna steaks into thin pieces. Serve the seared tuna slices on a plate. You can enjoy them as is or pair them with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.
