Seared Ahi Tuna With Teriyaki Soy Glaze Recipes

SESAME SEARED TUNA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, honey and sesame oil. Divide into two equal parts. Stir the rice vinegar into one part and set aside as a dipping sauce.
• Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.

TERIYAKI TUNA

Steps:

• Pour the teriyaki sauce into a shallow dish or bowl, and place tuna steaks in the sauce to marinate. Cover, and allow to marinate for about 45 minutes at room temperature. The steaks will cook more evenly if they are not cold.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place tuna steaks in the hot oil, and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Squeeze juice from the lemon over the steaks, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. When the bottom is light brown, flip the steaks, and cook until browned on the other side. The center will still be slightly red. Season with sea salt and pepper.
• Place the tuna steaks onto serving plates, and garnish with grated carrots. Serve the pan drippings as a dipping sauce.

TERIYAKI AHI

Steps:

• Place shoyu, brown and white sugars, ginger, sherry, oil, green onions, garlic, white pepper and 3/4 gallon water in a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Let cool, then strain out the solids so you are left with just teriyaki sauce. Place the ahi in a large bowl and cover with the teriyaki marinade (save remaining marinade for another use). Let marinade, refrigerated, 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat. Oil tuna and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then grill to desired doneness, 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER

Steps:

• Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
• While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
• Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.

GRILLED TERIYAKI TUNA

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, and pepper. Place the tuna fillets in the bag. Seal the bag with as little air in it as possible. Give the mix a good shake, to ensure the tuna fillets are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove tuna from marinade, and place on grill. For rare tuna, grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. For medium, grill 5 to 8 minutes per side. For well done, grill for 8 to 10 minutes per side.

GILLED TUNA WITH TERIYAKI GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine soy, sherry (or broth), ginger and garlic. Divide the marinade into 2 medium, shallow bowls.
• Place the tuna in one bowl and turn to coat.
• Place the mango and bell pepper ion the other bowl and turn to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate both for 15 minutes.
• Coat a grill rack or broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Pre-heat the grill or broiler to medium.
• Place the tuna, mango, and bell pepper on the prepared rack or pan. Discard tuna marinade. Grill or broil, basting occasionally with the marinade from the mango bowl, for 4 minutes per side or until the tuna is just opaque and the mango and bell pepper are heated through and glazed.

RED CHILE SEARED TUNA WITH TERIYAKI GLAZE

Steps:

• For tuna: In small bowl combine the chile powder and coriander. Dredge tuna in mixture so they are well coated.
• In saute pan place olive oil and heat on medium high until it is hot. Sear the tuna 45-60 seconds on each side or until they start to blacken. Remove tuna and refrigerate until cold.
• Slice tuna into 1/8" slices so edges show blackened seasonings. Drizzle with teriyaki glaze.
• Glaze: In medium sauce pan combine all ingredients. Cook on low for 30 minutes or until mixture is reduced by 1/3. Mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Refrigerate.
