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.

    Beautiful glaze for tuna steaks. I serve with a Greek feta salad. Simple, healthy and tasty meal.

    This was a lovely glaze for the tuna! Really tasty meal. We found the tuna cooked really quickly, less than a minute on each side if you like it rare. We didnt serve with the pak choi, just a light new potato salad with lime juice. Went really well together and would definitely do it again!

    Lovely recipe. Used pine nuts rather than sesame and served with a rocket and butternut squash salad .... Will definitely make it again.

    Cooked under the grill as many others suggested. It tasted really flavoursome, so much that it was lovelywith plain rice.

    This was really easy to make, and very very tasty. I only made the marinade, and then squeezed fresh lime over the tuna once done, and we had it with boiled new potatoes and rocket, they all went really well together. Even my mum who isn't a massive fan of tuna steaks loved the sauce!

    Nice glaze, but not sure it was worth the prep time.

    This was a very nice, simple and quick recipe. The bak choi was ok but will probably leave out next time. I cooked the tuna on a griddle pan on the hob and served it with rice and the courgette salad - gorgeous.
