Ahi Tuna Ingredients

Method

Ahi Tuna Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, wasabi paste, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the Ahi tuna steaks in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill or Pan

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if you prefer it cooked more.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides of the tuna, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
