Fresh Ahi Tuna

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparation of Ahi Tuna

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tuna

    Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure they are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Tuna

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Tuna Steaks

    Remove the tuna from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked.

  3. 5

    Rest and Garnish

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Optionally, slice the avocado and sprinkle sesame seeds over the tuna before serving.
