A quick tuna meal with a difference. Tuna is meaty, and the citrus sauce goes well with it. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs tuna steaks, about 6 oz each |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
8 ounces fresh arugula (or more) |
4 tablespoons soy sauce |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 orange, zest of, grated |
1 lemon zest, only grated |
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed |
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, grated |
2 oranges, in segments (remove white pith) |
3 teaspoons sugar |
1 inch dried chilies, crumbled or 1 small chili pepper, chopped, seeds removed |
salt |
Directions:
1. Mix together the ingredients from the soy sauce down to the chilli pepper, stir well, and stand for a while for flavours to mix.
2. Put in a suitable container in a warming oven to just warm through.
3. Brush the tuna steaks with the olive oil and just sear quickly on both sides in a hot griddle pan over very high heat for rare meat - or cook to your liking. Use salt to taste.
4. Arrange the arugula on 4 plates, top each with a tuna steak, and drizzle the citrus sauce with orange segments over each serving.
5. Serve immediately - but can be served cold.
