✨Recipe✨

Ingredients

2 4-6 oz. ahi tuna steaks (If you can, make sure you're getting quality sushi-grade Ahi Tuna—it tastes MUCH better raw than your average grocery store cut of tuna)

Coarse salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp. black sesame seeds

2 tbsp. white sesame seeds

1 tbsp. olive oil

Spicy Sauce

1 heaping spoon of chilli paste

1 tbsp soy sauce

3/4 tbsp ponzu sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil

Garnish Options

Green onion

Sliced jalapeño

Chopped cilantro

Garlic chips (fresh garlic sliced thinly and fried in olive oil until golden then removed and placed on paper towel until dried)

Lime wedge

How-To

Drizzle tuna steaks with olive oil, and spread evenly with a spoon or brush.

Coat in salt, pepper, and sesame seeds (make sure to get both sides)

Sear on high heat each side for approx. 1-2 minutes, interior should still be bright pink.

Remove immediately, let sit for a few minutes, slice super thin against the grain.

While Tuna sits, combine/whisk sauce ingredients together in separate bowl.

Plate as desired. We usually use a bed of greens as the base, add the sliced tuna, and finish with sauces & garnishes!

This one is near and dear to our hearts so we hope you enjoy!!
