Seared Yellowfin Tuna Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Pickling the Watermelon Radish

   Thinly slice the watermelon radish and place it in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix equal parts of vinegar and sugar until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the radish slices and let them sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

2. 2

   Preparing the Crispy Carrots

   Using a vegetable peeler, create thin strips of carrot. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the carrot strips and sauté until they are crispy. Season with salt and set aside.

   Cooking the Tuna

   Pat the yellowfin tuna steaks dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and furikake seasoning. Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil and sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer for desired doneness. Remove from heat.
