Steps:

• Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and olive oil. Put the tuna steaks in a large zip-top bag, pour in the chili sauce mixture, and marinate for at least 10 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
• In a skillet on the stovetop, melt the butter over medium heat. Discard the marinade and add the marinated tuna steaks to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until a slight crust forms on the bottom. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the second side.
• Divide the tuna among four plates and spoon the quinoa alongside. Garnish with the cilantro and sesame seeds and serve, with lime wedges alongside for squeezing over the top.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl - combine all the tuna steak marinade ingredients - soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, sliced ginger & garlic, scallions, and chilly flakes.Pro tip - Use glass or plastic, never metal when marinating. Otherwise, the acid ingredients in the marinade can react with the metal.
• Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn them over a few times to coat well. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes up to an hour. Pro tip - You can marinate the tuna for up to 3 hours in the fridge.
• Sear tuna steaks - Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let the pan become very hot. Place the two tuna steaks in the skillet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Pro tip - The pan must be smoking hot this will give a nice sear and color on the tuna.
• Cook the steak for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (medium-rare) Pro tip - You can do up to 2 minutes on each side if you like it less rare. I would not recommend more than 2 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, slice and garnish with chopped scallions.
• Serve with plain jasmine rice, a side salad, and a vegetable side dish for a complete meal.
