I have tried several different recipes for making ahi tuna and was disappointed every time. So I have blended several things about other recipes to create this. I’m sure this isn’t completely original, but it is original to me. This can be served as a main course with some rice and asparagus (or stir-fry vegetables) or as an appetizer. I like a little soy sauce for dipping, but there are many other spicier dipping sauces you could use.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
- 1 ½ teaspoons blackened seasoning
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse tuna and pat dry. Place in a prep dish and sprinkle both sides with blackened seasoning. Brush teriyaki sauce on all sides of the tuna to glaze it.
Step 2
Mix white and black sesame seeds together in a shallow dish. Dredge tuna in the sesame seeds until all sides are coated.
Step 3
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Arrange tuna in the pan and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and cook for another 3o to 45 seconds; do not overcook!
Step 4
Quickly transfer tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange tuna on individual plates, overlapping slices slightly. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes:
Use tuna steaks that are 1-inch thick. I like Chef Paul Prudhomme(R) blackened seasoning, but you can use any or make your own.
