Ingredients

• Tuna steaks - 2 pieces (about 150g each)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
2. Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
4. Remove the tuna from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
