Quick and Easy Ahi Tuna: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ahi tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Wasabi or sriracha for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil for cooking.
  4. Remove the tuna from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place the steaks in the hot skillet.
  5. Sear the tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more cooked.
  6. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the tuna to toast them slightly.
  7. Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  8. Cut the tuna steaks into thin slices for serving.
  9. Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate and drizzle with any remaining marinade if desired.
  10. Top with chopped green onions and serve with optional wasabi or sriracha on the side.
