Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare finish. Adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Then slice it thinly against the grain.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the local greens, sliced avocado, and seasonal veggies. Drizzle with sesame dressing and toss gently.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Plate

    On a serving plate, place a generous handful of the salad mixture. Arrange the sliced tuna on top and add crispy rice on the side. Serve with wasabi and shoyu on the side.
