Benne Seed Crusted Rare Ahi Tuna* Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ahi Tuna

   Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Press benne seeds onto both sides of the tuna to create a crust.

2. 2

   Make the Beer Batter

   In a bowl, whisk together the flour and beer until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

3. 3

   Fry the Avocado

   Slice the avocado into wedges, dip them into the beer batter, and deep fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Cook the Tuna

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the crusted tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

5. 5

   Make the Jalapeño Mayo

   In a bowl, mix mayonnaise with finely chopped jalapeño until well combined.

6. 6

   Prepare Chive Vinaigrette

   In a small bowl, mix chopped chives with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

7. 7

   Plating

   Slice the tuna and serve it on a plate with beer-battered avocado wedges. Drizzle with jalapeño mayo and chive vinaigrette. Top with tobiko for added texture and flavor.
