Start by preparing the marinade for the tuna.

Reserve half a tablespoon of the marinade for later use.

Cut the thick tuna steaks in half to reduce cooking time and ensure they stay rare inside.

Dip the tuna pieces in the marinade, coating all sides, and let them marinate for 15 minutes.

While the tuna is marinating, prepare the sriracha mayo by mixing regular mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of honey mustard.

7

Add sriracha to the mayo mixture to taste and mix well.

8

Preheat a skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil until very hot.

9

Place the marinated tuna in the hot skillet and sear for about 1 minute on each side, adjusting time based on thickness.
