Preparation and Cooking Instructions

Marinating the Ahi Tuna
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mustard, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. Place the Ahi tuna steak in the marinade, making sure it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Searing the Tuna
Heat a skillet over high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Sear the tuna for about 30 seconds on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
