Tuna steak with ginger, lime and cilantro sauce


This  is an amazing sauce/dressing for most types of fish. Tried it with seabass, halibut and now tuna! Works wonderfully with all. It's super simple and chances are you always have the ingredients on hand.  With the tuna, you can eat it hot or cold, it tastes equally fantastic.

What you will need...

1 4-6 oz tuna steak
1-2 tbsp of oil
salt and pepper
1 small avocado (optional, but goes wonderfully with the tuna)

Sauce
2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lime juice (one large lime should do)
1 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tbsp of chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp of olive oil

Mix all the ingredient  for the sauce in bowl and set aside.

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pat dry the tuna steaks, drizzle  with a little oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook for about 1-11/2 minutes per side until the outsides of the steak have browned but the inside is still pink, or until cooked to your liking. 
**once you turn the steak, drizzle with about a tbsp of the sauce and continue cooking

Take out of pan and slice. 
Top with remaining sauce and serve with a thinly sliced avocado.
Now, try and share....hahaha
