Pan-Seared Zesty Ahi Tuna with Wasabi
Fresh ahi tuna steak crusted in toasted sesame seeds and pan-seared until rare, served with chilled soba noodles and a vibrant wasabi-ginger dressing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp Black sesame seeds
1 tbsp White sesame seeds
1 tsp Sesame oil
1 oz Dry soba noodles
0.5 cup Shelled edamame
1 tbsp Tamari
1 tsp Wasabi paste
0.5 tsp Ginger powder
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the soba noodles in boiling water according to package directions, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, and ginger powder until the dressing is smooth.
Pat the ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Mix the black and white sesame seeds on a flat plate and press the tuna steak firmly into the seeds to create an even crust on all sides.
Heat the sesame oil in a cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for approximately 45 to 60 seconds per side for a perfect rare center.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing into thin strips with a sharp knife.
Toss the chilled soba noodles and edamame with the prepared wasabi dressing and top with the sliced tuna to serve.
