Tuna

Spicy Yuzu Miso

Avocado Lime Crema

Method

Preparing the Tuna

  1. 1

    Season the Tuna

    Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the tuna steaks on the grill and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness.

Making Spicy Yuzu Miso

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine white miso paste, yuzu juice, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 4

    Adjust Flavor

    Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sriracha for spiciness or yuzu for tartness.

Preparing Avocado Lime Crema

  1. 5

    Blend the Crema

    In a blender or food processor, combine ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 6

    Check Consistency

    If the crema is too thick, add a little water or more lime juice to reach desired consistency.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Place the seared tuna on a plate, drizzle with spicy yuzu miso, and serve with a generous dollop of avocado lime crema on the side.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and lime wedges for added flavor and presentation.
