Pan-seared Tuna Steaks with Chilli Jam

Pour the marinade into a shallow dish, add the tuna steaks and leave for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse the fish. Sear the steak in a hot pan or wok for 1-2 minutes on either side. Finely slice the tuna into strips and pile high on a bed of wild rocket. Generously drizzle with chilli jam, as per recipe below, and serve immediately.

For the chilli jam: Place the chilli, spring onions, garlic, coriander and lime juice into a food processor and blend until thoroughly mixed. In a pan, heat the sugar, water, soy sauce and sesame oil until simmering then stir in the chilli mixture and sesame seed. Remove from heat and serve or if preparing in advance, cool and refrigerate (when required, re-heat in microwave for 30 seconds before serving).
