Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over high heat.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Once the skillet is hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Avocado

    While the tuna is resting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and fry them in a small pan until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the sliced avocado, then place the seared Ahi tuna on top. Drizzle with soy sauce, umami sauce, and Sriracha sauce. Garnish with fried shallots and microgreens.
