Ingredients
Method
1. First marinade the tuna by brushing the Essential Cuisine Aromatic Stock Base on both sides of the steaks, cover and chill for about 1 hour
2. For the salad, in a food processor blend together the lime juice, ginger, fish sauce, chillies and peanuts in fine paste (add a little water if a touch thick)
3. To cook the tuna, heat a griddle pan over a high heat, lightly oil. Sear the tuna steaks for 30–60 seconds on each side depending on thickness. Keep pink in the middle. Rest for 1 minute
4. While the tuna is cooking, finish the salad by tossing the noodles, spring onions, basil, carrots and mint together until thoroughly mixed
5. To serve, slice the tuna steaks and pile the noodle salad onto serving plates and top with the slices of tuna
6. Finish with sesame seeds
