Seared Ahi Tuna and Salad

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Cucumber Wasabi Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the wasabi paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

2

Season the Tuna

Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3

Sear the Tuna

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.

4

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with soy sauce and toss to combine.

5

Serve

Slice the seared tuna and arrange on top of the salad. Drizzle with cucumber wasabi sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
