In hopes of surprising my husband with a nice Valentine’s Day dinner, I purchased tuna steaks, one of husband’s favorites that he doesn’t get often. Unfortunately, we got snowed in, neither one of us went to work, and close to dinner time husband wanted to make dinner, what he thought was supposed to be tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. So I had to leak the surprise dinner before he cracked open the soup. Oh well, he was still happy to be getting tuna. I based this recipe of a one of Tyler Florence’s recipes.
Ingredients
1 jalapeno, sliced
2 tsp ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced
¼-cup soy sauce
1/8- cup olive oil
1/8 tsp sugar
salt and pepper
2 tuna steaks
Mix together the jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime, soy sauce, sugar, and olive oil in a bowl. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Add 2 Tbsp of olive oil to a hot skillet. Place the steaks in the skillet and cooked 1 minute on each side for rare, up the cooking time if you prefer you tuna more well done. Pour the soy mixture over the tuna, turn off the heat and allow to sit for two minutes. Serve with the soy mixture. Makes 2 servings.
