Total Time: 8 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for sweeter flavor use orange) or 2 tablespoons lime juice (for sweeter flavor use orange)
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons old bay garlic and herb seasoning
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 -2 lb tuna

Recipe

• 1 marinade:.
• 2 combine all marinade ingredients into a blender or food processor. pulse until ingredients are well processed. this step is important because it emulsifies the ingredients to ensure consistent mixture.
• 3 *marinade will keep refrigerated for about a week, or can be frozen.
• 4 thaw tuna if frozen.
• 5 place tuna in ziplock bag and pour in marinade. make sure most of the air is out of the bag. marinating this way ensures even absorbtion of the marinade.
• 6 place in fridge for at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
• 7 if pan searing, coat bottom of pan in olive oil. heat pan on high. once hot, place fish in pan to sear, 1 min each side.
• 8 i like my tuna pretty rare so searing 1-3 minutes on each side is perfect for me. if you like it more done, lower heat to medium high and cook until desired doneness.
• 9 steaks can also be grilled.
• 10 i like mine with green beans and sushi rice.
• 11 note: if you like a more soy sauce heavy flavor, add more while cooking. using more in the marinade makes the fish taste salty.
