Hello! I've been crazy busy finishing off my summer in Vegas and vacationing in Palm Desert! In the midst of vacation, I got the opportunity to cook in a beautiful kitchen with my Uncle Ed!!!!! It was a blast...and it was totally worth it!!! We had a dinner party with a couple of their friends...this dish is great for groups of people. It requires very little "cooking"...just some prep and presentation!
Ahi Tuna (as much as you want)
Seasoning
Oil
Salad
Garnishes
This is the messy step(s)...but it's not bad..the only thing that gets messy is your hands
Oil the fish very well....make sure all sides are covered in oil.
Then take your seasoning (below) and cover the fish thoroughly.
You can use any kind of rub, but you'll want it to be something that isn't too coarse.
When you're done it should look like this!
and this was enough Tuna for 6 people + a few leftover pieces.
you can have your little helper put the garnishes on the plate while you're cooking to make it easier for you. They can also toss the salad with some shredded carrots, onions, and whatever else you want in your salad! Then put those on the plates
You just want to sear the fish.
about 2 minutes on each thick face (wider)
and 1 minute on each side (skinny)
Ahi Tuna is not meant to be cooked all the way through. If you do, you'll butcher it......ew.
once the fish has a quick searing, cut it into small cubes.
kind of like sushi!
Add the tuna to the greens and it's ready to serve
It normally has some soy sauce/teriyaki based homemade salad dressing, but it wasn't prepared gluten free. I used balsamic vinaigrette. Any vinegar based, asian style dressing would work just fine!
Also, Ahi Tuna may be a little more expensive than most things on this blog, but you don't have to really purchase much else above price range. It kinda evens out.
Add a little pizzaz to this dish by giving your guests chopsticks to eat with! It really made the dish :))
As Always, Enjoy!
