1
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly on both sides of the Ahi tuna steaks and let them sit for about 15 minutes.
2
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and Dijon mustard; set aside.
3
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then add bok choi and Chinese peas, cooking until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4
Cook the Ahi Tuna
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and increase heat to high. Add the seasoned Ahi tuna steaks and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a blackened crust forms and the center remains rare.
5
Prepare the Butter Sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the soy-mustard mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
6
Serve
On a plate, arrange the sautéed bok choi and Chinese peas. Place the blackened Ahi tuna on top and drizzle with the butter sauce. Serve immediately.
