Ahi Tuna Steak
Japanese Soy Vinaigrette
Green Papaya Salad
Method
Preparing Ahi Tuna Steak
Crust the Tuna
Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Press the sesame seeds onto both sides of the steaks to form a crust.
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the tuna is rare in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.
Making Japanese Soy Vinaigrette
Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Preparing Green Papaya Salad
Mix Salad Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine shredded green papaya, shredded carrot, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and crushed peanuts. Toss well to combine.
Assembly
Serve
Slice the seared Ahi tuna steaks and serve on a plate alongside the green papaya salad. Drizzle with the Japanese soy vinaigrette.
