Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna with Wasabi Mayo
Sesame-crusted ahi tuna steaks pan-seared to a perfect rare, served with a zesty wasabi-infused mayo and a crisp cucumber salad for a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Ahi tuna steak
1 tbsp Black and white sesame seeds
0.5 tbsp Avocado oil
0.5 tbsp Avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tsp Wasabi paste
1 tsp Coconut aminos
1 cup Sliced cucumber
0.25 cup Sliced radishes
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels to ensure a high-quality sear, then season all sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the black and white sesame seeds on a shallow plate and press the tuna steak firmly into the seeds until the top and bottom are evenly encrusted.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and coconut aminos until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
In a separate medium bowl, toss the sliced cucumber and radishes with the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt to create a quick, bright slaw.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke.
Carefully place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for exactly 45 to 60 seconds per side for a classic rare center.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes before using a very sharp knife to slice it into half-inch thick pieces.
Arrange the tuna slices on a plate alongside the cucumber salad and finish with a generous drizzle of the prepared wasabi mayo.
