Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Dredge the tuna steaks in flour, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
-
Step 2.
Heat sesame oil in a large iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured tuna steaks, diced peppers, and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is lightly browned and the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Step 3.
Add the fresh garlic, fresh ginger, diced mango, red pepper flakes, black pepper, soy sauce, corn syrup, honey, cream sherry, ground dried orange peel, and a dash of wasabi powder to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
-
Step 4.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fish is tender and cooked through (flakes easily with a fork) and the sauce has thickened slightly.
