Seared Yellowfin Tuna Medallions with Rice
(1 Servings)What you’ll need
1 | 150 g yellowfin tuna medallions |
2 | 100 g white rice |
3 | 1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 | 1 tablespoon soy sauce |
5 | Salt and pepper, to taste |
6 | Lemon wedge, for garnish |
How to make it
Cook the Rice: In a small pot, bring 200 ml of water to a boil. Add the white rice and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff it with a fork and set aside.
Prepare the Tuna: While the rice is cooking, season the yellowfin tuna medallions with salt and pepper on both sides. This simple seasoning will enhance the natural flavors of the fish.
Sear the Tuna: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the tuna medallions in the skillet. Sear for about 1.5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare finish. The outside should be beautifully golden, while the inside remains tender and slightly pink.
Add Flavor: Drizzle the soy sauce over the seared tuna just before removing it from the skillet. This will add a savory depth that complements the fish wonderfully.
Plate Up: Place the fluffy white rice on a plate, then top it with the seared tuna medallions. Add a lemon wedge on the side for a refreshing burst of acidity.
Chef’s secrets
For extra flavor, consider marinating the tuna in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for about 15 minutes before cooking.
If you prefer a different texture, try serving the rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or finely chopped herbs for a fresh finish.
