Seared Ahi Tuna
2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
2 T minced garlic
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. lemon juice
Sesame seeds
Mix above ingredients to make a marinade. Marinade tuna steaks in mixture for 10 minutes each side. Tuna absorbs the marinade very quickly, so don't leave them in for too long. Sprinkle sesame seeds over tuna. Place leftover marinade in saucepan with 1 T cornstarch and 1/4 c. water. Mix and simmer until thickened. To cook tuna- I like a grill, but can also do on a cast-iron skillet. Either way, preheat it very hot, and make sure grill is clean and tuna won't stick. Sear tuna on high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Tuna should stay rare/pink in middle. Serve with sauce.
