How to fry tuna fillet in a frying pan deliciously

Composition of the marinade

The main component of any marinade is acid, which is what makes the meat softer and juicier. Previously, vinegar was always used for this, but today cooking has stepped far forward, and chefs have revealed their secrets to the world. It turns out that it is not at all necessary to use this ingredient; on the contrary, you can easily cook fish in it if you do not calculate the proportions.

It is best to use lemon or lime juice as a base for the marinade.

Soy sauce works very well; there is no need to add additional ingredients, since it will already give an amazing taste to the fish.

Among the kings of marinades is the one that uses grated ginger and honey.

As for herbs and spices, there are no restrictions on their use. Cumin, coriander, a mixture of peppers, cloves and everything else are great for creating a spicy brine.

Tuna medallions, quickly fried in sesame seeds

If you have ever been to the best restaurants, you probably know that fish is present in all types. But not just like that, but in different sauces and breadings. I would like to invite you to cook fish in sesame seeds - it turns out not only tasty, but also stunningly beautiful.

To prepare, take:

• 1 fresh tuna steak;
• 1 tsp wasabi;
• 1 tbsp. sesame oil;
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce;
• juice of half a lemon or lime;
• salt, pepper to taste;
• olive oil for frying;
• sesame for breading.

How to cook:

1. Cut the fish into fairly large pieces.

2. Mix wasabi, sesame oil, soy sauce and lime juice. Salt and pepper the marinade.

3. Dip each piece of fish into the marinade, roll in sesame seeds (you can use black, white or a mixture).

4. Heat a frying pan, add a little olive oil. Fry the tuna on all sides just a little so that the inside remains raw.

The exact frying time on both sides depends on the thickness of the pieces - from 20 seconds to a minute.

Cut the fried fish into slices, serve with a green salad and the sauce in which it was marinated.

Marinating time

The length of time it takes to keep the fish in the marinade largely depends on the form in which you plan to cook the tuna.

The fillet always reaches readiness faster; if the marinade is concentrated, then only 30 minutes is enough, and you can begin the main part of creating a culinary masterpiece.

Steaks and whole gutted fish take longer to soak. The thickness of the piece and the size of the fish also affect the marinating time. Steaks from one centimeter in thickness should be kept for an hour, larger ones - up to three hours. It is better to check the fish at this stage if in doubt.

Whole fish will marinate for 4 hours and will need to be well coated both outside and inside.

Recipes

The best marinade recipes contain citrus fruits, and it's not always just lemon; you can use orange, but don't use grapefruit, as its bitterness can ruin the fish.

To prepare the aromatic mixture you need:

• 1/4 cup orange juice;
• 1/4 cup soy sauce;
• 2 tablespoons olive oil;
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice;
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley;
• 1 clove of garlic, minced meat;
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano;
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper;
• 4 tuna steaks.

All ingredients are mixed, the mixture is poured into a bag where the fish is placed. A bag is a special plastic container that can be closed. If possible, all the air is released, the bag is sealed, and the fish is placed in the refrigerator for an hour. Ready tuna can be grilled or baked in the oven.

You can make marinated tuna in the following marinade:

• 100 grams of soy sauce;
• a glass of lemon juice;
• two tablespoons of minced garlic;
• a spoonful of minced ginger;
• a pinch of black pepper.

If you are allergic to ginger, or you just don’t like it, then the marinade is easy to prepare using the following ingredients:

• 50 grams of rapeseed oil;
• 20 grams of rice vinegar;
• 30 grams of soy sauce;
• spoon of brown sugar.

Be sure to try this wonderful marinade with teriyaki sauce:

• 30 grams teriyaki;
• 10 grams of brown sugar;
• spoon of sherry;
• 10 grams of rice vinegar;
• 10 grams of sesame oil.

Each of these sauces is perfect not only for tuna, but also for other fish that you plan to bake or grill.

Any housewife can quickly and easily marinate tuna at home on her own. See below for more information.

Tuna steak

The simplest recipe for making tuna steak. In my opinion, this steak is one of the most interesting fish steaks due to the fact that tuna is a fish whose steak has a consistency similar to chicken fillet. If you've never tried it, you definitely should! And using this recipe, you won’t have any problems cooking tuna!

Tuna steak – 1 piece.

Soy sauce - 4 tbsp.

Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp.

Take the previously defrosted tuna steak and remove it from the vacuum packaging. We remove excess moisture from it with a paper towel.

Making a simple marinade for tuna. To do this, mix vegetable oil and soy sauce in a ratio of 1 to 2. I used 4 tbsp. soy sauce and 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. Mix the marinade.

Place the tuna steak in the marinade. Make sure the marinade covers the entire surface of the steak. Let the steak marinate for 1 minute. After this, pour the marinade over the steak using a teaspoon and leave for another 1 minute. Fish readily absorbs soy sauce and changes its color before your eyes, so marinating it for 2 minutes is quite enough.

Pour some sesame seeds into a clean plate. Bread the steak coated with sesame marinade. We do this slowly, from all sides.

Fry the tuna steak in a frying pan. I use a grill pan, but it doesn't really matter. It is important to fry it for 1 minute on each side over medium heat so that at the end of cooking the steak in the middle will still remain raw. Then it will turn out as delicious as possible! In fact, the main rule to remember when cooking tuna steak is: 2 minutes of marinating - 2 minutes of cooking. What could be simpler?

Serve the steak on the table, garnishing the plate with arugula. Bon appetit!

And to get tuna, you need to think like a tuna!

Tuna is now available in any store. The main thing is to get 1500 rubles for it.

According to the recipe, IMHO the sesame seeds don’t fit here.

You just fry it in olive oil for 1.5 minutes and there’s no need to spoil the taste.

Almost the same =)

It’s possible, but sometimes you want something like that

I agree 100500%. And this will be the simplest recipe. By the way, you can add a little dry herbs and saltines to taste.

And yes, a tuna steak for 0.4 or 0.5 kg (I don’t remember exactly) costs about 500 rubles. 1.5 k is somehow too much.

1500 per kg I mean.

I myself weigh a hundredweight, but personally, 200g of tuna steak is enough to fill me up.

Chain of stores Yes - steaks for about 1000

And no soy sauce is needed. Tuna is self-sufficient!

Personally, I like it better this way. In fact - not for everyone)

and a black E band in a white bracelet looks funny.

The bracelet is gray. Well, in general, I wrote down the recipe back in the summer. Now I changed the mi band to the amaze fit beep. Much better tracker and much more functional!

Dear author, this is not exactly the simplest recipe. Moreover, sesame quite strongly distorts (clogs) the taste of the fish itself. Look at the recipe on YouTube from Jamie Oliver - it will be the simplest, but here you have screwed up something incomprehensible. It is clear that this is a matter of taste, but this is not how tuna is served in self-respecting restaurants.

It may not be the easiest and you can cook it without sesame seeds, but it is with it that you get an amazing effect which is that the crust becomes crispy due to the fried sesame seeds, and the core of the steak is juicy and tender due to the fact that it has not been subjected to temperature processing.

I wouldn’t speak so clearly about self-respecting restaurants, because on the same YouTube, Gordon Ramsay recommends cooking with sesame seeds. Moreover, he also adds wasabi.

ok, Ramsay convinced me. But the crust turns out good even without sesame seeds. try it

I tried. And I don’t argue that it turns out well. With sesame, in my personal opinion, it’s more interesting. In general, the best tuna is sashimi!
