Main: Pan - Seared Tuna with Teriyaki Sauce garnished with Fried Leeks & Buttered Vegetables on

If you've read my last post, you may be seeing a pattern. First an appetizer and now the main entrée. I've decided, as I am writing this, that I will be making this three part series into a, kind of, virtual set-menu.

I know that only a handful of people would be reading this and actually be doing the recipe but I'd like to state that the recipes I put into this blog are not a 100% accurate because I'm only human and because I feel that cooking really is like an instinct/ an innate, God-given, talent. OKAY FINE!!!! I made the dish, and didn't write any of it down. That's why I'm guesstimating the amounts. Anyway, enough with the disclaimers, if it doesn't turn out to be a delicous dish then don't point any fingers at me. That's bad!
