Savory Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
• 6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed

Directions

Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.

Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
