Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tuna Steak

The Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tuna Steak is a fresh, protein-packed dish that brings together juicy radishes, tender soya beans, and seared tuna, all tied together with a zingy pickled ginger dressing. It’s one of those meals that’s quick to make but feels really special. I whipped this up for a weeknight dinner and it was bright, clean, and packed with flavor. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 200g radishes, ideally with leaves
• 2 heaped teaspoons pickled ginger
• 2 teaspoons low-salt soy sauce
• 250g frozen soya beans
• 2 x 150g tuna steaks (2cm thick, from sustainable sources)

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Tuna Steak

1. Make the Dressing: Finely chop 2 radishes and the pickled ginger. Mix them with soy sauce, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and 2 teaspoons of water. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Radishes: Thinly slice the remaining radishes and their leaves. Set aside.
3. Cook the Beans: Add frozen soya beans to a pan of boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes, then drain and return to the pan briefly to heat through.
4. Sear the Tuna: Rub the tuna steaks with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sear in a hot non-stick pan for 1½ minutes per side for a pink center.
5. Assemble the Salad: Divide the soya beans and sliced radishes onto plates. Tear the tuna into pieces and place on top. Drizzle with the pickled ginger dressing and finish with an extra splash of olive oil.

Why I Love This Recipe

This is the kind of dish that feels like something from a restaurant but takes no time to make. The ginger and soy bring bold flavor, while the tuna stays juicy and the beans and radish add crunch and color.
