Ahi Tuna Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Red Pepper Aioli

Roast the red bell peppers until charred, then blend with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth. Set aside.

2

Prepare the Ahi Tuna

Crush the black peppercorns coarsely and mix with salt. Press the mixture onto both sides of the Ahi tuna steaks.

3

Pan Sear the Tuna

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or until desired doneness.

4

Plating

Place the pan-seared Ahi tuna on a plate and drizzle the red pepper aioli on top. Serve with your choice of two sides.
