Zesty Seared Tuna with Crunchy Bell Pepper Avocado
Fresh ahi tuna steaks seared to perfection and served with a bright, zesty bell pepper and avocado salsa that offers a satisfying crunch in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz ahi tuna steak
0.5 whole avocado
1 cup red bell pepper
0.5 cup English cucumber
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp black sesame seeds
PREPARATION
Pat the ahi tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Dice the avocado, red bell pepper, and English cucumber into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Toss the diced vegetables with the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and chopped fresh cilantro to create the zesty salsa.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the toasted sesame oil once the pan is shimmering.
Sear the tuna steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect rare center, or slightly longer if you prefer it more cooked.
Remove the tuna from the pan, slice it against the grain into thin strips, and serve topped with the crunchy avocado salsa and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.
