Yay..he did it again! Seared Tuna Steak Recipe

Jason is starting to take over the kitchen. While I do enjoy cooking, I am delighted by Jason's enthusiasm for making me dinner. This recipe is from Jamie Oliver's Happy Days with the Naked Chef

Seared Tuna with Grated Ginger and Chives  

(Serves 4)

8-10 oz bluefin tuna 

soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger

1 bunch of fresh chives, finely sliced

Marinate your tuna in a little soy sauce for 1 hour. Pat dry with paper towels, rub with the sesame oil, and sear for around 2 minutes in a very hot nonstick frying pan, turning regularly.  Allow to sit for 1 minute while you peel and finely grate the ginger.  To serve, place a little blob of fresh ginger and a small pile of chives on one side of each plate, with a pool of soy sauce in the middle.  Using a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices, giving each person at least 3 or 4 pieces.
