Blackened Island Ahi Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ahi Tuna

   Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Tuna

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

3. 3

   Make the Butter Sauce

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna and drizzle the spicy soy mustard butter sauce over the top before serving.
