Tuna Preparation

Method

Tuna Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, slice the Ahi tuna into 3 equal pieces (approximately 50 grams each). Ensure the slices are about 1/2 inch thick for optimal texture.

  2. 2

    Season the Tuna

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and sea salt. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the tuna slices to ensure they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the tuna pieces and sear for about 30 seconds on each side, just until a crust forms on the outside but the center remains rare.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 4

    Prepare Garnishes

    On a serving plate, place a small dollop of wasabi and a few slices of pickled ginger for serving. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top of the tuna slices.

  2. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the seared tuna slices on the plate beside the wasabi and pickled ginger. Serve immediately while the tuna is fresh and warm.
