If you can't find fresh tuna, frozen tuna steaks will work just fine; just be sure to thaw before using. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
3/4 cup plum sauce |
1/4 cup lite soy sauce |
1 teaspoon dried ground ginger |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
6 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick) |
1 tablespoon freshly ground multicolored peppercorns |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, and sauté 4 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned and tender. Stir in plum sauce, soy sauce, and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep warm.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle tuna evenly with pepper, and cook 4 minutes on each side (rare) or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with warm sauce.
3. *Freshly ground black pepper may be substituted.
4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Honan Plum Sauce. Look for plum sauce in the ethnic foods aisle of the supermarket.
