Ingredients for Tapas Encrusted Ahi Tuna
Method
Directions for Preparation

Prepare the Slaw
Cook the Asian noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and let cool. In a large bowl, combine the cooled noodles, shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, sesame oil, and chopped scallions. Toss well and set aside.

Prepare the Tuna
In a shallow dish, mix the ground peanuts with Thai seasoning. Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Press each steak into the peanut mixture to coat evenly.

Grill the Tuna
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Add a little oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Grill the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
