Soy-glazed Tuna Steaks

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 50ml soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 4 tuna steaks
  • 4 bunches of bok choi (pak choi), halved
  • 2 large limes, halved
  • oil
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Method

  1. Put the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the garlic and sesame oil, remove from the heat and cool. Cover the tuna steaks with the marinade and leave for 1 hour.
  2. Barbecue the tuna steaks for 1 minute each side for rare, 2 for medium, basting constantly with the marinade, until charred and sticky on the outside.
  3. Barbeque the bok choy halves cut-side down for 2 minutes. Put in a bowl and squeeze over lime juice and a little oil and scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve with the tuna.
