Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Whip the Potatoes

    Add butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Sear the Ahi Tuna

    Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes for rare, or to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the whipped potatoes, top with the seared ahi tuna, and serve with grilled asparagus on the side. Drizzle with ginger soy sauce and enjoy.
