Lemon, Honey Marinade Tuna Steak (With Caramelized Onion + Buttered Mushroom)

I went grocery shopping today and saw some Yellowfin Tuna on sale. My mom wanted to try some so we bought two home. I have never made it before, but it seems like it worked well enough for a Monday dinner!

INGREDIENTS:

2 tuna steaks (3/4 inch thick)

1 lemon

1 cup celery leaf

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp paprika

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cups mushroom

1 tbsp butter

1 cup onion - sliced

1 tbsp sugar

Salt and pepper

DIRECTION:

1. Finely chop the celery leaf.

2. Mix the celery leaf with squeezed lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, paprika and 1 tbsp olive oil.

3. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the tuna steaks then brush over with rest of the olive oil.

4. In a pan, heat up some butter, then sautéed the mushrooms.

5. When mushrooms are cooked, set them aside on a plate.

6. In the same pan, add the onions then once they brown, add sugar then cook.

7. Prepare a grill and once heated, place tuna steak onto it.

8. Brush the tuna steaks with the marinade prepared, then grill each side for 2 minutes for a medium rare steak.

9. When tuna steaks are cooked, place mushrooms, then onions, then the sauce on top.

This is the prefect twist to a romantic dinner rather than having plain ol’ steak.. ;)
