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."

Ingredients :

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed

Instructions :

Prep : 10M	Cook : 2M	Ready in : 35M

Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Notes :

Can substitute brown sugar or honey, but I've tried all three and think the molasses is really the best. I don't measure the ginger root. I just cut probably 6 to 8 thin slices of ginger root and then mince. It makes a pile about as big as the two minced cloves of garlic. Can also substitute 1 teaspoon ginger powder, but the fresh ginger is much better. The marinade can be made the night before and placed in the refrigerator. In the morning, shake well (it will separate some because of the oils), and then place tuna steaks in a baggie with the marinade and refrigerate through the day, removing the bag from the fridge 20 minutes prior to cooking. This makes it an easy way to have a quick and very tasty dinner after a long work day with almost no effort that evening.
