Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb yellowfin tuna Cut into small portion sized steaks
  • 1 shallot sliced

Sauce

  • 1/2 T minced garlic
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 3 tsps sesame seeds
  • 1.5 T low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 T gochujang
  • 1 T sesame oil
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Veggie Side

  • 2-3 C any veggies you have I use broccoli, carrots, snap peas, etc. They can be fresh or frozen
  • 2 T sesame oil
  • 1 T low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Serve with

  • cooked rice I cook mine with an extra tsp rice vinegar and tsp sesame oil
  • green onions chopped
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Adjust racks in your oven so one is in the middle and one is near broilers (top).
  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • In a gallon bag, combine all of the sauce ingredients until well mixed. Add tuna and shallot and shake in the bag (MAKE SURE IT IS SEALED). Once the fish is well coated, set aside and let it marinate while your veggies cook.
  • On a foil lined baking sheet, toss your veggies with oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for 15-25 minutes on middle shelf. If you like your tuna more raw, cook your veggies longer to ensure they get nice and crispy.
  • Once the veggies are nice and tender (more crisp if cooking tuna for less time), remove the pan and toss the veggies. Make space for the fish fillets and place them flat on the tray. Coat the tops with remaining marinade and sliced shallots.
  • Bake for 10-20 minutes. Check periodically to ensure you do not over cook the tuna. I like mine more medium versus my husband. I remove his steaks before mine.
  • To get a nice blackened crisp, set oven to HI broil and cook for 2-3 minutes. This will give your veggies a nice crisp and the outside of your tuna a nice texture.
  • Serve with rice, green onions and extra sesame seeds if desired! ENJOY!
