Seared Ahi Tuna
Ahi Tuna is a restaurant favorite that's easier to make at home than you think! It's quick and healthy - great for something a little different on a weeknight.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
Ahi Tuna
- 2 ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds optional
- chopped scallions optional
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Give it a taste and adjust the flavors if needed then set aside.
- Season both sides of 2 ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper .
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for 45 seconds-1 minute on each side.
- Slice the tuna and serve it with the sauce! Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired.
Notes
- My ahi tuna steaks were about 1" thick and I cooked them for 1 minute/side.
- Be sure to use sushi-grade ahi tuna for taste and food safety reasons.
- I like to keep fresh ginger in the freezer because it's easier to grate, and I always have some on-hand that way.
