Method

Tuna Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Tuna

    In a bowl, combine the fresh tuna steak with togarashi spice blend, olive oil, and salt. Ensure the tuna is evenly coated with the spices. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tuna steak to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Truffle Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Truffle Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the finely chopped Chinese black truffle and stir well. Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Assembly and Garnishing

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the seared tuna into desired thickness and arrange on a plate. Drizzle the truffle sauce generously over the tuna.

  2. 5

    Add Garnish

    Top the dish with flying fish roe and sprinkle with finely chopped chives for a fresh finish.
