From behind the fish counter
Sesame and a soy dip add flavour to tuna. Cooking it pink requires appropriate fish; discuss this with us beforehand. Cooking time depends on steak thickness.
Method
Quantities for 4 people. Total time includes preparation and any waiting time. Cooking times are a guide: fish thickness and your oven or pan make a difference.
- 1
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Boil the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes.
- 2
Mix the soy sauce, juice of half a lime, ginger and honey into a dip.
- 3
Pat the tuna dry, brush with oil and press sesame seeds onto both sides.
- 4
Heat the grill pan well without letting it smoke. Grill appropriate steaks for about 1–2 minutes per side for a pink centre, depending on thickness.
- 5
Serve with dip, rice and broccoli. For fully cooked fish, continue cooking the tuna over a lower heat.
Intermediate Manageable with care and a little patience.
