Meal No. 4131: Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks with Ginger-Soy Glaze

Dateline: Tue 16 June. Somehow it's been over three years since I made tuna here, and that was what was featured Tuesday a week ago. A slight special at the Harris Teeter made the tuna steaks marginally more attractive, but I'd been looking out for them nonetheless. On that night, I spiced and pan-seared them to a tasty medium-rare while also cooking down an Asian-inspired ginger-soy glaze to go over top. I also tried out black ("Forbidden") rice as a novelty and was well-pleased with the result. A small side salad with Thousand Island dressing finished out the plate.
