Feel free to follow me on Instagram. I occasionally post improvised recipes that are always very simple and quick to make, as well as beautiful decor, table, and kitchen finds that I discover in Europe :)

For about 800g of red tuna, you will primarily need:

• a bottle of savory soy sauce
• the juice of one lime
• one or two cloves of garlic, according to your taste
• olive oil
  

And if you have these in your fridge or pantry, they add even more flavor:

• sesame oil
• ginger
• cilantro
• mirin

First step: Cut your tuna into long, rectangular pieces. Be careful, tataki is sliced at the very end of the recipe, just before serving! For all the preparation and marinating, the tuna should be in long, large, rectangular pieces.

Second step: Sear each side of your tuna in a pan, with a little olive oil if needed. Then set your tuna aside while you prepare the marinade.

Third step: In a Tupperware or freezer bag, pour oil and soy sauce in a ratio of approximately 1/4 - 3/4, the lime juice, and finely chopped garlic. If you have one or more additional ingredients, add them as well and taste regularly to adjust the proportions to your liking.

Fourth step: Place the whole tuna piece in the marinade, close the container, and refrigerate for at least ten hours (from morning for evening, or even better: the day before for evening). If necessary, turn the tuna occasionally so that all sides are immersed in the marinade at some point.

Last step: Just before serving, remove the tuna from the marinade, slice it thinly, arrange it on a platter, then pour a little marinade over it, and perhaps sprinkle with some sesame seeds.

Serve with black rice and mango, for example!
