Instructions

First, in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix together the coconut aminos, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Place the yellowfin tuna steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. For a quicker option, even a 5 minute marinade adds flavor.

While the tuna is marinating, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.

Place the yellowfin tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice crust. The center should be pink and slightly rare for the best taste and texture.

While the tuna is searing, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes to create a glaze.

Once the tuna is seared, remove it from the skillet. Let it rest for 1 minute. Then, pour over the glaze and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Tuna Completely Dry 🎯
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the yellowfin steaks before searing; moisture prevents a golden crust and proper caramelization of the glaze.
Fresh Ginger Technique 🌿
Grate ginger just before cooking rather than mincing it; grating releases more aromatic oils and creates a smoother texture in your coconut aminos glaze.
Sear First, Then Glaze 🔥
Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side on high heat first, then brush with your honey-coconut aminos mixture in the final minute to avoid burning the glaze.
Toast Sesame Seeds Fresh 🌱
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before garnishing to intensify their nutty flavor and add superior crunch compared to raw seeds.
Target 125°F Internal Temp 🌡️
For perfectly juicy tuna, aim for 125°F at the center; the residual heat will bring it to 130°F while resting, keeping it tender and preventing the dry, flaky texture of overcooked tuna.
