Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup soy sauce
    • ¼ cup Japanese Mirin wine
    • 15 ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) castor sugar
    • 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) ground ginger
    • 15 l (1 tbsp) crushed coriander stems and roots
    • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sunflower oil
    • 4 X 2 ½ cm thick tuna steaks

Method

    1. Mix together soy sauce, Mirin, white wine vinegar, castor sugar, lemon juice, ginger and crushed coriander in a large glass bowl. Add the tuna steaks to the bowl, spoon oven marinade. Cover with cling film, transfer to refrigerator and allow marinating for 40 minutes.
    2. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, pour marinade into a saucepan, bring to boil and reduce by 1/3.
    3. All oil to a cast iron grilling pan and allow heating up. Grill tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side. Tuna is good when rare and still pink in the middle.
    4. Remove from the pan and spoon over the thickened marinade mixture. Garnish with fresh coriander.
    5. Serve with wilted spinach or bok choy and Spekko Saman Brown Rice.
