Fish is such a great 'fast food', this baked fresh tuna steak is glazed with honey, ginger and soy sauce and it is all done and dusted in 25 leisurely minutes!
Ingredients
- 375-400g (140oz) Piece of Fresh Tuna Steak
- 1 Tbsp Ground Nut Oil
- 35g (Thumb sized piece) Ginger
- 4 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
- ½ Tbsp Chinkiang Vinegar
- 50g (2½ Tbsp) Honey
- Pinch of MSG
Directions
- 1
Peel and grate the ginger and place it in a small 15cm or 6" saucepan.
- 2
Pour the dark soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, honey and pinch of MSG and heat over a high heat until it boils, then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Heat a nonstick frying pan (large enough to sear the tuna) over a very high heat.
- 4
Rub the tuna with the ground nut oil and then sear in the frying pan until nicely coloured all over.
- 5
Remove the frying pan from the heat and pour the brown sugar and honey glaze over the tuna and then turn to coat on all sides.
- 6
Transfer the tuna to a small baking tin that you have lined with baking parchment and pour over the glaze, transfer to a 200°C or 400°F oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. You are looking for an internal temperature of between 40-45°C or 105-115°F, this will deliver an internal temperature of around 45-50°C or 115-120°F when carved.

Remove the tuna from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before carving.
