Directions

Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together Montmorency tart cherry juice, sesame oil, chili sauce, garlic, soy sauce, mustard and green onions.

Tuna
Heat a large skillet to high heat. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper, spray with cooking spray, then sear for 90 seconds per side for rare (or until desired doneness). Remove from heat, cool slightly, and slice.

Cabbage
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey and rice wine vinegar. Toss with dried Montmorency tart cherries and cabbage.
