Method

Preparation of Tartare

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Start by cutting the Ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Ensure the knife is sharp for clean cuts. Place the cubed tuna in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Dice the avocado into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the tuna.

  3. 3

    Chop the Green Onion

    Finely chop the green onion and add it to the bowl with the tuna and avocado.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then cut it into thin rounds or small cubes. This will be used as a garnish or base for the tartare.

  5. 5

    Add Sesame Seeds

    Add the sesame seeds to the bowl with the tuna mixture and gently fold everything together to combine.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 6

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, and grated ginger until well combined.

  2. 7

    Season the Dressing

    Taste the dressing and add salt and black pepper to your preference.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Combine Tuna Mixture and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to coat the ingredients evenly.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Spoon the tuna tartare mixture onto a plate over the cucumber slices. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy immediately!
