Tuna Tataki Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the fresh tuna steak with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    In a hot skillet over high heat, sear the tuna steak for about 30 seconds on each side, just until browned but still rare in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and grated ginger.

  4. 4

    Slice the Tuna

    Once the tuna has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the tuna slices on a plate, drizzle with the marinade, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
