This is wonderful quick and easy recipe to make, it makes for a great after work fast meal and also it is healthy and full of flavour. It is a lower in carbs than most recipes which is always a bonus in our house. It is another I snagged in the swap I am in this month and one that was very much enjoyed by all and one that will definitely be making repeat performances in our house. If you want to view the original recipe please click here. The only change I made to this recipe was to add black and regular sesame seeds to the top of the tuna, I think it added to the flavour and gives a nice colour to the top. I served mine over veg and it was delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 Cup teriyaki marinade
1/2 Teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 Tuna steaks, each cut into 4 strips (I did 2 Tuna steaks and cooked and served whole.)
2 Tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon wasabi paste (I added more but just personal preference.)
2 Tablespoons pickled ginger
I also added 1 tablespoon each regular and black sesame seeds to coat tops of tuna, I found this to be a lovely addition.

Method

1. Mix the teriyaki marinade, five spice powder and ginger.

2. Place tuna slices into a non-metallic dish.

3. Pour over the marinade.

4. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinade for 10 minutes, after marinating I removed steaks and added seeds.

5. In a large non-stick pan (or use your barbecue) heat the oil.

6. Fry the tuna over fairly high heat for 1-2 minutes each side. If using sesame seeds fry sesame seed side down first so seeds adhere to tuna. (or until cooked to how you like them).

7. Mix together the mayonnaise and wasabi paste.

8. Serve the tuna with some of the wasabi mayonnaise and place some pickled ginger on top.

Very yummy with plain, boiled rice and stir-fried chinese greens. I served mine over mixed stir-fried vegetables.
