Preparation Steps

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar to make the marinade. If using, add red pepper flakes.
• Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• Remove tuna from marinade, letting any excess drip off. Sear tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for desired doneness. Avoid overcooking.
• While tuna is searing, pour the remaining marinade into the same skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Slice the seared tuna and arrange on plates. Drizzle with the thickened sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
