Ingredients

0.25 cup soy sauce
0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic to create a flavorful marinade.
Place tuna steaks in a resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it's hot and ready for searing.
Take the tuna steaks out of the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the steaks in the hot skillet, gently shaking to prevent sticking. Sear for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and sear for another minute for a perfect medium-rare finish.
