Soy Ginger Seared Ahi Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• 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. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

Steps:

• Combine the sherry, soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, chili sauce, and ginger in small sauce pan. Put the tuna steaks in a baking dish and pour a quarter cup of the marinade over the steaks. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerated for up to two hours).
• Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. (We like to use our indoor grill pan in the winter - just make sure it is smoking hot.).
• Remove the tuna steaks from marinade and pat dry. Brush the steaks on both sides with vegetable oil. Grill, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful, as the tuna will get dry if overcooked.
• Meanwhile, put the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until reduced to syrupy consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve the tuna teaks with the soy-ginger glaze and top with a heaping portion of the pickled cucumbers.
• Pickled Cuke Preparation
• Put the cukes and red onion in a small bowl. Add the vinegar and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks to the hot skillet and sear 90 seconds on each side. Remove tuna steaks to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk soy sauce and honey together in small bowl. Add to the skillet with apple and ginger. Saute until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve sauce on the side or on top of tuna steaks.
