Sesame Seared Tuna With Vegetable Slaw Recipes

CRUNCHY SLAW WITH SEARED TUNA AND HONEY-SESAME-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together the red and green cabbage, green onions, cilantro, carrots and bell pepper in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
• Rub the tuna with sunflower oil. Over medium-high heat, heat a large skillet. Add the tuna and cook 3 minutes per side to sear so that it is rare in the center and golden brown on the outside.
• Meanwhile, for the dressing, add the rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, honey and olive oil to a small bowl. Mix to combine. Drizzle on the salad and toss gently to combine. Plate on a platter.
• Slice the tuna into 1/2-inch slices and top the salad with the tuna. Sprinkle with the cashews, sunflower seeds and Aleppo pepper. Squeeze over a wedge of lime and serve the remaining lime wedges on the side.

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.

• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.
