August 19, 2024

Ingredients

SERVINGS: 2 Serving(s)
  • 10-16 ounces sushi grade yellowfin tuna, cut into two pieces (local, if possible)
  • 1 cup tamari
  • Juice of 2-3 limes, divided
  • 2 tablespoons freshly-grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons freshly-grated garlic
  • Black and white sesame seeds to coat the tuna
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 ears fresh corn (or 1 cup frozen if unavailable)
  • 10 baby tomatoes
  • ⅓ English cucumber
  • ½ can chickpeas, drained
  • ¼ medium red onion
  • 15 sugar snap pea pods
  • ½ red or yellow pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili lime seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
  • Fine sea salt
  • White pepper

Preparation

Whisk tamari, grated ginger, grated garlic, and the juice of 1 lime, and pour in a pan to create the marinade for the tuna.

Place tuna in the marinade, and refrigerate. Take out after 5 minutes, turn the tuna over and refrigerate for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove each tuna steak and coat with black and white sesame seeds.

In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil.

When hot, add tuna steaks. Sear on each side for 2 minutes. Remove and place steaks in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the tuna to cool quickly and firm up for easier slicing.
