Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp mirin
  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oil ((for frying - peanut oil or other high smoke point/flavorless best))
  • 1/2 lb yellow fin tuna (sushi grade ideally in a square/rectangular block)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, mirin and ginger. Set aside.
  • If your piece of tuna is wider, cut it into two similar-sized pieces, ideally both square/rectangular ended and even width.
  • Warm the oil in a skillet big enough for the piece of tuna over a medium-high heat until it starts to smoke slightly.
  • Add the tuna to the pan and cook for no more than around 30-45 seconds each side to sear it. Remove from the pan and set aside a couple minutes.
  • Using a very sharp knife, cut the tuna thinly across the grain. Arrange the slices on a larger platter or two plates to serve. Drizzle over the sauce and decorate the plate, if you like eg with slices of lemon, green onions.
