Ingredients
Glaze
- 1 14oz can of unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup dark rum
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup cream of coconut syrup (like Coco Lopez that you make Pina Colada’s with)
- 1 tsp black pepper corns
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
Tuna
- 2 Tbsp Canola or Vegetable oil

- 6 one-inch thick (or thicker) tuna loin steaks
- Lime wedges
Directions
Glaze
- Heat ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, boil for about 15 minutes until reduced by half.
- Strain through a fine sieve and set aside. This can be made and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Tuna
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Sprinkle both sides of tuna with salt, cook for 2 minutes (or less) per side for medium rare. You may have to cook in batches to keep heat up. Remove tuna to a warm plate.
- Drain off any fat then pour glaze into skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Put tuna back in skillet and turn to coat on all sides.
- Serve at once with lime wedges and drizzle the glaze over the tuna.
