Total time: 10-15 minutes | Cooking time: 5 minutes | Yield: 1 serving

INGREDIENTS

1. Tuna steak (preferably fatty belly cut) - 250 g

2. Salt - 1 pinch

3. Black pepper - to taste

4. Olive oil - 2 tbsp

5. Butter - 10 g

6. Garlic clove - 1

7. Rosemary - 1 sprig

8. Soy sauce - 1 tsp

9. Honey - 1/2 tsp (for glaze)

Step By Step Cooking Process

STEP 1

Place the steak in the freezer for 5–7 minutes. Slice at a 45° angle to highlight marbling. Season with salt and pepper.

STEP 2

Heat a pan over high heat. Add olive oil until lightly smoking.

STEP 3

Sear the tuna 10–15 seconds per side — no longer. You want a crust, while the inside stays soft and pink.

STEP 4

Add butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for 10–12 seconds.

STEP 5

Add soy sauce and honey. Glaze the steak quickly and remove from heat after 5 seconds.

STEP 6

Slice the steak at a 45° angle, Wagyu-style. Serve on a dark wooden board or black plate for maximum contrast.

Cooking is a quiet moment where silence meets flavor. Come back whenever you crave something extraordinary.
