Chinese Tuna With Curry Chive Mayonnaise
This is one of the nicest ways I have prepared tuna in a while, I think it is because it is a little different. I love tuna and this recipe was no exception the curry mayonnaise goes so well with it and the marinade is wonderful. It is a quick and easy meal to throw together with a wonderful end result. I served ours over salad greens with avocado and mango some chopped up egg and alfalfa sprouts. It made for a very healthy delicious meal.

Ingredients

6 Tuna steaks

Marinade

1/4 Cup sherry wine
1/4 Cup light soy sauce
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 Teaspoon ground pepper
2 Tablespoons minced green onions
1/4 Cup minced ginger
1/4 Cup water
1/4 Cup vegetable oil

Curry Mayonnaise

1 1/2 Cups mayonnaise
1/4 Cup honey
1/4 Cup finely chopped chives
2 1/2 Tablespoons curry powder
1/2 Tablespoon turmeric

Method

1. For mayo, combine all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until completely incorporated. Refrigerate for later use.

2. For marinade, add all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until well combined; let sit for 2 hours for flavors to blend.

3. Marinate tuna steaks in marinade for 2 hours. Grill tuna on high heat for 2 minutes on each side (do not overcook, or tuna will become dry).

4. Place mayo in a plastic bag, cut off the bottom corner of bag and squeeze sauce across grilled tuna in a “zig zag” pattern.
