- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated

Instructions
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, I whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove to create a vibrant glaze, then set aside for this Flavorful Seafood Dish.
Season the Tuna
- I pat 2 tuna steaks (6 oz each) dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear, then season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the Tuna
- I heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. I add the tuna steaks and sear for 1.5–2 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, ensuring a tender center and crisp crust, then remove and place on serving plates.
Cook the Glaze
- I pour the soy-ginger glaze into the skillet and cook over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and glossy.
Finish and Garnish
- I drizzle the warm glaze over the Seared Tuna Steak with Soy-Ginger Glaze, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
