Ingredients
  

  • Ahi Tuna Steak Sushi Grade

Method
 

  1. Preheat a non-stick or stainless steel pan over high heat until very hot.
  2. Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and pat lightly with paper towels to prevent excess splatter.
  3. Sear the tuna for 2 minutes per side. This creates a golden crust while keeping the inside rare and tender.
  4. Remove from the pan and let rest for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Notes

The key is not to overcook. Ahi tuna is best enjoyed rare to medium-rare. Cooking too long will dry it out.
