-
Press tuna steaks into the mixture, until coated.
-
Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat in a pan.
-
Add tuna steaks and sear about 1-1 1/2 minutes each side (I like mine rare in the center, longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).
-
Transfer steaks to tented aluminum foil to keep warm.
-
Add a touch more oil to the pan, then add soy sauce and sherry.
-
Add garlic and most of the green onion (reserving some of the tops).
-
If too much has boiled off, add a bit of red wine if necessary.
-
Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
-
Spoon sauce over tuna steaks, and sprinkle remaining green onion on top.
-
Note: If you want to make more of this sauce, it tastes fantastic and goes great with rices, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc.
