- 1 teaspoon ginger, ground
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 24 ounces tuna fillets, uncooked

DIRECTIONS:
1) Prepare brown rice per package instructions (i used a rice cooker of course!)
2) While rice is cooking, mix soy sauce (liquid aminos), vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large gallon ziplock bag.
3) Add tuna fillets and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes.
4) In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.
5) Reserving marinade, sear tuna steaks for about 2 minutes each side, more or less depending on how well done you prefer your tuna.
6) Remove tuna from skillet and keep warm. Add marinade to skillet and reduce to a syrupy consistency.
7) Serve tuna steaks with brown rice, pour sauce over each and top with scallions.
