A quick and flavorful recipe for seared Ahi tuna, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner with Asian-inspired notes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sushi-grade Ahi tuna steak
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. This is your glaze.
  2. Pat the Ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels. This helps create a good sear.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully place the tuna steak in the hot skillet. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
  6. Slice the tuna against the grain.
  7. Drizzle the soy-ginger glaze over the sliced tuna.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your tuna is sushi-grade for the best and safest results.
  • Adjust searing time based on your preferred level of doneness.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice and a side of steamed or stir-fried vegetables.
