Marinated Seared Ahi Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• In a flat, shallow dish, combine the soy, rice vinegar, sambal, white and light green scallions, garlic and ginger. Add the tuna and roll around to get the marinade on all sides. Cover and let sit in the fridge for up to 2 hours, turning the tuna periodically.
• Remove the tuna from the fridge and let sit in the marinade outside of the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
• When the tuna has come to room temperature, remove it from the marinade. With a paper towel, gently remove some of the excess marinade.
• Coat a large saute pan with peanut oil and bring it to a VERY high heat. When the pan is VERY hot but not quite smoking, pull the pan off the heat and add the tuna to the pan. Return the pan to the heat and sear the tuna for 1 minute on each side.
• Remove the tuna from the pan, let rest for 4 to 5 minutes and slice into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with the dark green sliced scallion tops.
• Serve immediately with a little extra soy on the side if desired.

Steps:

• Start with small amount of wasabi, add just enough soy sauce to help dissolve wasabi.
• Add remaining soy sauce and ginger root.
• Mix well, marinade Ahi tuna.
• coat both sides with seasame seeds.
• pan sear to desired doneness.
• Dipping sauce:.
• mix soy sauce and wasabi for a quick and easy dipping sauce. Options to wasabi: siracha chili sauce or some of the fresh ginger root. Be creative and try different combinations.

Steps:

• 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:

• Crush blackberries in a bowl until smooth. Add passion fruit juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, parsley, sea salt, and pepper and stir until marinade is thoroughly mixed.
• Place tuna in a glass dish and pour marinade over top; flip several times to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Remove tuna from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat. Sear tuna in the hot skillet for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side.
• Remove from the skillet and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Steps:

• Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.

Steps:

• Mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and lime juice in a non metal bowl. Add ahi and coat , cover tightly, and refrigerate for about an hour.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a pan until light brown (I prefer a blend of white and black sesame seeds- the black ones are hard to find, try an asian market). Remove seeds and allow to cool on a flat plate (you will use this plate to dredge the tuna in)- add cracked pepper.
• Add olive oil to a skillet and allow it to get HOT.
• Dredge the ahi in the sesame seeds and pepper to coat and add to the hot pan.
• Cook only two or three minutes on each side so that the ahi is seared on the outside and rare on the inside.
• Serve with white rice and green beans that have been either roasted or cooked and drizzled with sesame oil. Sprinkle any extra sesame seeds over the top.
• garnish with remaining green onion and ENJOY!
