Recipe makes for 4 Servings

1 small cucumber

2 tsp sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

4 tuna steaks

DRESSING:

1 1/2 inch ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

2 green Thai chilies, seeded and roughly chopped

3 tbsp brown sugar

3 tbsp fish sauce

juice of 1 lime


4 tbsp water


Directions:


Grind the ginger, garlic and chilies to a pulp with the sugar, using a mortar and pestle. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice and water and mix well. Leave the dressing to stand for 15 minutes.

Cut the cucumber in half lengthways and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into long, thin strips. Toss the cucumber in the dressing and leave to soak for at least 15 minutes.

Wipe a heavy pan with the oil and rub the garlic around it. Heat the pan and add the tuna steaks. Sear for a few minutes on both sides, so that the outside is slightly charred but the inside is still rare. 


Place steaks on to a warm serving dish. Arrange cucumber around the tuna and drizzle dressing over the fish steak and serve immediately.
