Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Brush the yellowfin tuna steaks with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Tuna

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the tuna steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Crispy Spinach

    In a large pan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Spring Rolls

    Fry the vegetable spring rolls in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix ponzu sauce, chili garlic sauce, and wasabi oil together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the grilled tuna with crispy spinach on the side, alongside the vegetable spring rolls. Drizzle the ponzu sauce mixture over the tuna and serve with extra sauce on the side.
