Tuna Tartare

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, finely dice the fresh sushi-grade tuna into small cubes. Make sure the pieces are uniform for even seasoning and presentation.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into similar-sized cubes as the tuna.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced tuna, avocado, and half of the sesame dressing. Be careful not to mash the avocado.

  5. 5

    Add Garnish

    Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the tuna tartare mixture, and gently fold to incorporate.
