Method

Preparing the Tartare

  1. 1

    Dice the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes, about ½ inch in size. Place in a medium mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Dice the avocado into similar sized cubes as the tuna.

  3. 3

    Chop the Green Onions

    Finely chop the green onions (scallions) and add them to the bowl with tuna and avocado.

Making the Spicy Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey (if using). Whisk until well combined.

Combining and Serving

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the spicy sauce over the tuna and avocado mixture. Gently toss everything together until well coated.

  2. 6

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a small bowl, carefully shape the tartare mixture onto the center of a plate.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and add microgreens or cilantro for garnish. Serve immediately.
