Spicy Coconut Tuna Steaks


Marinate the Tuna:
Prepare Marinade: In a shallow dish, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.
Marinate Tuna: Place the tuna steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Tuna:
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Cook Tuna Steaks: Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and cook the steaks for about 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness (sear for medium-rare). Avoid overcooking, as tuna can become dry.
Make the Sauce:
Simmer Marinade: After removing the tuna, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve:
Plate the Tuna: Place the cooked tuna steaks on plates and drizzle the spicy coconut sauce over the top.
Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side.
