Tuna Steaks with Green Curry Sauce

This fella is easy and quick. Serve it with rice or a cold noodle salad. Or whatever you like, I suppose.


Tuna Steaks with Green Curry Sauce

4 250 gram tuna steaks

1 can of light coconut milk

1 or 2 tbsp of green curry paste

2 tbsp fish sauce

olive oil

salt and pepper


Rub the tuna steaks with olive oil, salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in an appropriately sized pan over medium high heat. Gently (ever so) place the tunas in the pan and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds a side. Remove the steaks from the pan, put them on a plate and tent them with aluminum foil. Add the curry paste into the now barren pan and fry for about a minute. Pour the coconut milk into the pan slowly with your right hand, whisking everything together with your left hand. Cook the paste and the coconut milk for a couple minutes or until the sauce thickens a bit. Add the fish sauce. Say "nam pla" in a voice that is equally loud and shrill. Slice the tuna steaks thinly, against the grain. Spoon the green curry sauce over the tuna. Get yours.
