Roasted Tuna with Spinach and Thai Flavours

Ingredients

• Tuna steaks 2 x 170g
• Soy sauce 3 tbsp
• Lime, juiced 1
• Fresh ginger, grated 1 tsp
• Garlic cloves, crushed 2
• Red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp chilli flakes) 1/2
• Olive oil 2 tbsp
• Red onion, thinly sliced 1 medium
• Fresh spinach 200g bag
• Sesame oil 1 tsp
• Cooked rice, to serve 200g

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, crushed garlic, chopped red chilli, and 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
3. Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat, then let them marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
4. While the tuna marinates, toss the sliced red onion with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking tray.
5. Place the marinated tuna steaks on top of the red onion on the baking tray. Roast for 8-12 minutes, depending on how you like your tuna cooked (medium-rare to well-done).
6. During the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, add the spinach to the baking tray around the tuna and onion. It will wilt quickly from the oven heat.
7. Drizzle the sesame oil over the tuna and spinach. Serve immediately with the roasted red onion and cooked rice.
