Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • MAYONNAISE SAUCE
  • 1 cup light mayonnaise (make sure your mayonnaise does not contain any dairy)
  • ⅛ cup gluten-free soy sauce
  • ¾ tablespoon garlic chili paste
  • 1 cup mint
  • Black pepper to taste
  • TUNA STEAK
  • 4 tuna steaks
  • ¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce
  • ¾ tablespoon garlic chili paste
  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds (1 tablespoon per tuna steak)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the broiler on high.
  2. Mix the mayonnaise sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and then puree until smooth with a food processor. I used a handheld food processor which is perfect for this small amount of sauce. A regular standing food processor would work fine as well.
  3. Mix the ¼ cup soy sauce and ¾ tablespoon garlic chili paste in a medium bowl. Dredge each tuna steaks in the soy sauce mixture until fully covered. Place the tuna steaks on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each tuna steak
  4. Broil the tuna for 6-8 minutes or until it's cooked to your liking. I like my tuna pretty rare but you can cook it longer to your specifications.
  5. Serve the tuna steaks with the mayonnaise sauce and enjoy!
  6. NOTE: I like to serve this tuna dish with asparagus and wild rice - the sauce goes especially well with those sides. However, you can substitute other vegetables and starches in as well. The sauce tastes just as good over broccoli and potatoes. :)
