Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey until combined and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 8 oz cubed fresh tuna steak and sear for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until just opaque on the outside but still tender inside. Remove tuna and set aside.
3. Step 3: Lower heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the wok. Add 1 tbsp finely grated ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Add 1 cup broccoli florets and 1 medium thinly sliced red bell pepper, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Step 5: Return the seared tuna to the wok along with the soy-honey sauce, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss gently and cook for 1 more minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients.
6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced scallions before serving immediately.
