Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for sweeter flavor use orange) or 2 tablespoons lime juice (for sweeter flavor use orange)
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 14 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons old bay garlic and herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 -2 lb tuna

Method

  • Marinade:.
  • Combine all marinade ingredients into a blender or food processor.
  • Pulse until ingredients are well processed.
  • This step is important because it emulsifies the ingredients to ensure consistent mixture.
  • *Marinade will keep refrigerated for about a week, or can be frozen.
  • Thaw tuna if frozen.
  • Place tuna in ziplock bag and pour in marinade.
  • make sure most of the air is out of the bag.
  • Marinating this way ensures even absorbtion of the marinade.
  • Place in fridge for at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
  • If pan searing, coat bottom of pan in olive oil.
  • Heat pan on high.
  • Once hot, place fish in pan to sear, 1 min each side.
  • I like my tuna pretty rare so searing 1-3 minutes on each side is perfect for me.
  • If you like it more done, lower heat to medium high and cook until desired doneness.
  • Steaks can also be grilled.
  • I like mine with green beans and sushi rice.
  • Note: If you like a more Soy Sauce heavy flavor, add more while cooking.
  • Using more in the marinade makes the fish taste salty.
