Hot Teriyaki Tuna Steaks

Not many people cook tuna that isn't from a tin and on a recent food shop I came across some fresh tuna steaks and decided to cook something new. Here is a recipe for chilli hot teriyaki tuna steaks:

Ingredients:
2 Tuna Steaks
Spring Onions to garnish

For marinade:
3 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Rice Wine
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 Red Bird's-eye Chilli
A small piece of Ginger Root

1. Prepare the ingredients by thinly chopping the spring onions, crushing the cloves of garlic, finely chopping the ginger root and slicing the chilli.

2. Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine and caster sugar in a bowl large enough to fit the tuna steaks and add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Mix together to ensure the garlic, ginger and chilli infuse in the liquid part of the marinade. 

3. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and use a spoon or even better your hands to ensure every surface is covered in the marinade. Cover and leave for 30 minutes.

4.Grill the tuna steaks on a baking tray for 3-4 minutes each side, basting with the remaining marinade. Sprinkle with spring onions and serve immediately.

Ideal accompaniments for this recipe are cous cous, basmati rice, risotto, green beans, asparagus, roasted vegetables or even a simple green salad.
