Recipe type: Entree
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
Preheat the broiler on high.
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.
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
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.
Serve the tuna steaks with the mayonnaise sauce and enjoy!
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. :)
