Pico De Gallo Seared Ahi Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, green onions, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro to make"Pico de Gallo" Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend.
• Preheat a large skillet over high heat.
• Brush both sides of tuna with olive oil and season one side with black pepper.
• Add steaks to hot skillet, pepper side down.
• Sear for 2 minutes, then turn steak over and reduce heat to medium.
• Loosely cover skillet with foil and allow steaks to cook 5 minutes for rare, 7 minutes for medium.
• Serve on top of brown rice and spoon Pico de Gallo over each piece of tuna.
• Squeeze fresh lemon over the top and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine 4 diced plum tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1/2 minced red onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 minced jalapeño (seeded), the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon fresh celery juice (optional), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper; mix well. Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld, 1 hour or up to 3 days. Drain any excess liquid before serving.

Steps:

• Stir the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, garlic, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Peel and mince the garlic; Combine with olive oil in a small skillet and sauté over low heat until it just starts to turn color – don’t let it brown; For a sharper taste, garlic can be left raw, and olive oil left out (great if you love garlic).
• Wash and dice the tomatoes and place in a large bowl (one that can hold 1-1/2 gallons of salsa); Wash the cilantro, and cut 3/4 of the length of the stems from the bundle.
• Wash the peppers, and remove the stems; Chop the onion, peppers (with seeds and veins), and cilantro and add to the bowl.
• NOTE: The previous step will make a chunky salsa, or “Pico de Gallo,” and is the recipe I usually make (and most people prefer it); If you want a more traditional salsa texture, or just want to save a lot of time, use a food processor to finely chop everything except the canned tomatoes.
• Strain the canned tomatoes to remove most of the water; If you don’t have “petite diced” canned tomatoes, then dice these; Add them to the bowl.
• Add the sautéed garlic to the bowl.
• Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into the bowl.
• Add the vinegar.
• Add 1 Tbsp of the salt, and reserve the other.
• Mix well with wooden spoons and salt to taste (test by dipping with tortilla chips); The canned tomatoes contain salt and the Roma Tomatoes vary in sweetness, so this may cause variation in the right amount of salt.

Steps:

• Stir all the ingredients together in a medium bowl with some seasoning then put it into the fridge to chill. You could do this the day before. About 20 mins before you are ready to eat, take the salad out and bring it back to room temperature.

Steps:

• Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
• Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
• Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
• Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
• Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).

Steps:

• For pico de gallo:
• Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For crema:
• Whisk cream and sour cream in a small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
• For tacos:
• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Combine all dried spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle over fish. Brush grill grate with oil. Grill fish until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Using a fork, coarsely shred fish. Fill tortillas with fish, cabbage, and pico de gallo. Drizzle with crema. Squeeze fresh lime wedges over tacos.
