Ahi Tuna With Vegetable Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Bone and skin the tuna. Slice the tuna into 4-ounce steaks. Pour the cracked pepper on a plate and press each steak on top of the pepper. Brush each with olive oil and place the steaks in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
• In a hot saucepan quickly saute the steaks on each side for about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Don't overcook. Cut each tuna steak into ribbon slices.
• In a pot of rolling boiling water, blanch the carrots and broccoli 30 seconds and then immediately plunge in an ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.
• In a large saute pan over high heat, add the oil, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce and saute, tossing 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, blanched veggies, zucchini and scallions. Cook tossing for 3 minutes. Add a splash more soy sauce, if desired, and cook tossing 1 minute. Off the heat, evenly divide the slices of ahi and arrange artfully 8 ounces of stir-fried veggies per plate. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Place tuna in a glass bowl. Combine rest of ingredients and pour over the tuna. Marinate tuna for at least 1 hour.
• Place directly on hot grill for 1 minute or until desired doneness.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add cabbage, mushrooms, bok choy, carrot and green onions and stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons oyster sauce and 3 tablespoons soy sauce; stir 1 minute to blend flavors.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer vegetable mixture to medium bowl.
• To same skillet (do not clean) add the broth, 1/2 tablespoon oil, remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, remaining 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, butter and vinegar.
• Boil until sauce thickens, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Keep warm.
• Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in another large skillet over high heat.
• Add 3 tuna steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer to small baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining tuna.
• Divide vegetables among 6 plates.
• Top with tuna.
• Ladle sauce around tuna.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 4 large pieces for appetizer portion, 2 large pieces for dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble a miniature brick.
• Season the tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot as you can get it. Place the tuna in the pan, and sear on each side for about 45 seconds for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from pan. The tuna will be very rare.
• Slice each 'brick' into 1/4 inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or with the condiments of your choice.
