Seared Ahi Tuna with Brown Rice
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 ahi tuna steaks (6 ounces each)
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the brown rice under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade. Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes, turning once.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove the ahi tuna steaks from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
- Fluff the cooked brown rice with a fork and divide it between two plates. Slice the seared ahi tuna and place on top of the rice. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the tuna and rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
