Tuna Tataki Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the fresh tuna steak with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, sear the tuna for about 30 seconds on each side until the outside is browned, but the inside remains rare.

  3. 3

    Cool the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it thinly.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Roasted Peppers

    If using whole roasted peppers, slice them into strips. If using jarred, drain and slice.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate, top with the roasted red bell peppers, drizzle with white ponzu sauce, and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
