Tuna and Avocado
Sambal Soy Drizzle
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Sambal Soy Drizzle
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sambal oelek, honey, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Tuna
Season the ahi tuna steak with salt and black pepper on all sides. Press the sesame seeds onto the tuna to coat it evenly.
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for 30 seconds on each side for rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Slice the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice it thinly against the grain.
Assembly
Arrange the Dish
On a serving plate, layer the sliced tuna and avocado. Drizzle the sambal soy mixture over the top and serve immediately.
