Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna with Zesty Wasabi Drizzle
Sesame-crusted ahi tuna pan-seared to perfection and served over chilled soba noodles with a creamy, pungent wasabi drizzle and crisp bok choy.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tsp avocado oil
1 oz dry soba noodles
1 cup baby bok choy
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tsp wasabi paste
1 tbsp tamari
1 tsp rice vinegar
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles for 4-5 minutes until tender, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Steam the baby bok choy in a steamer basket over boiling water for 3 minutes until the leaves are wilted and the stems are tender-crisp.
Pat the ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Combine 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 avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 45 to 60 seconds per side for a rare center, or slightly longer if you prefer it more cooked.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, wasabi paste, tamari, and rice vinegar until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Slice the seared tuna against the grain into thin strips and serve over the chilled soba noodles and steamed bok choy, finishing with a generous drizzle of the wasabi sauce.
