• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl - combine all the tuna steak marinade ingredients - soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, sliced ginger & garlic, scallions, and chilly flakes.Pro tip - Use glass or plastic, never metal when marinating. Otherwise, the acid ingredients in the marinade can react with the metal.
• Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn them over a few times to coat well. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes up to an hour. Pro tip - You can marinate the tuna for up to 3 hours in the fridge.
• Sear tuna steaks - Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let the pan become very hot. Place the two tuna steaks in the skillet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Pro tip - The pan must be smoking hot this will give a nice sear and color on the tuna.
• Cook the steak for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (medium-rare) Pro tip - You can do up to 2 minutes on each side if you like it less rare. I would not recommend more than 2 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, slice and garnish with chopped scallions.
• Serve with plain jasmine rice, a side salad, and a vegetable side dish for a complete meal.
