Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Slaw

    Julienne the cucumber and jicama into thin strips. Slice the scallions finely. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, jicama, and scallions. Toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little oil. Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place the romaine leaves as a base. Layer on the cucumber-jicama slaw, then slice the seared tuna and arrange it on top. Add a generous dollop of guacamole, drizzle with sambal aioli, and sprinkle sesame seeds and tempura onions on top.
