Steps:
- Mix together all sauce/marinade ingredients and stir together until fully combined.
- Pour half of the sauce into a ziplock bag or air-tight container. Place the tuna steaks inside. Marinate in the fridge for at least 20-minutes and up to overnight. Leave the other half of the sauce for pouring over the completed tacos.
- While the ahi tuna marinates, put together the slaw. Add all cabbage-carrot slaw ingredients into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and leave to the side or in the fridge up to overnight.
- When ready to prepare the tacos, heat the cast iron or pan on the stove with the oil. Let the pan get hot (about 2-4 minutes).
- Take the tuna steaks directly from marinating onto the scorching hot pan, large flat side down. (Make sure to have a vent fan on, it helps!)
- Let tuna steaks sear for 1-minute on the original side. Using tongs, flip to the second side and let cook an additional 1-minute. Turn off heat.
- Remove seared ahi tuna steaks from the cast iron pan, and place onto a cutting board. Allow to sit for 5-minutes.
- While tuna steaks rest, heat the corn tortillas in a large pan on the stove at medium-heat. Let warm for 1-minute each side and then stack on a plate lined with paper towels or regular towel.
- Slice the tuna steaks in ½ inch thick slices.

Steps:
- For the taco shells:
- Cut the wonton skins using a 2-inch circle cutter. Use a taco shell basket and deep fry wontons until golden brown and firm. Remove taco shells from oil, allow to cool and season with sea salt.
- For the Asian slaw:
- Combine cabbage, peppers and onions in a medium sized mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mix well and combine with cabbage and peppers to marinate for about 1/2 hour.
- For the plum sauce:
- Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, and star anise. Saute for about 45 seconds, or until garlic has started to cook. Add 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, and canned plums. Continue to saute until all ingredients are soft and set aside to cool. Once cooled, puree plum mixture in a vertical blender and reserve for taco assembly.
- For the Tuna:
- Cut tuna into logs about 1-inch by 1-inch by 4-inches. Coat liberally with pepper and a little salt. Heat a saute pan until very hot; add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the sear tuna on all sides for about 15 seconds per side. Make sure to just sear outside of tuna and not allow inside to cook. Remove from heat and refrigerate promptly. Once cooled, slice into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- For Taco Assembly:
- Fill each taco shell with a little Asian slaw, place a slice of tuna on top of slaw, and then drizzle with a little plum sauce. Enjoy!
AHI TUNA WITH NAPA CABBAGE SALAD
Steps:
- In a large salad bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Cut cabbage in 1/2 lengthwise and slice into thin ribbons. Place cabbage, carrots, basil, mint, and cilantro in the bowl with the dressing. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- Pour the sesame seeds out onto a plate. Press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, pressing gently so the sesame seeds stick.
- Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add fish to pan and cook until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Alternatively, cook until done to your likeness. Slice thin and distribute among 4 serving plates. Serve with a generous portion of Napa cabbage slaw.
SEARED AHI TUNA WITH ASIAN SLAW
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbages, green beans, red bell pepper, pickled ginger, and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a small saucepan heat the canola oil to 325 degrees F and carefully fry the wonton strips for 3 to 4 seconds, until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the strips to a paper towel to drain. Set aside.
- For the dressing:
- In a blender or food processor, blend together the ginger, green onion, garlic, and cilantro.
- For the Tuna:
- Coat the tuna with the oil and season with the salt and pepper. On a plate scatter the sesame seeds and press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, gently shaking off the excess.
- Heat a large grill or saute pan over high heat and sear the tuna for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and let rest for several minutes before slicing. The tuna will be medium-rare.
- Toss the vegetables with half of the dressing and mix well. Add half of the wonton strips and gently combine. Mound the slaw onto a platter or indivisual plates. Place the sliced tuna on top of the salad and drizzle the remaining dressing on top. Garnish with the remaining wonton strips.
