I haven't made this yet, but have eaten it at a Roy's Restaurant in Hawaii. It's delicious and the presentation is wonderful. Times are estimates as none were given. From mauimenusonline.com. The site wouldn't let me add one ingredient in the Blackening Spices section. The last ingredient should be 1/2 tablespoon ground sandalwood, optional.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks that are about 1 inch thick.
  • Make sure to pat the tuna steaks dry before searing them. This will help to prevent the fish from steaming instead of searing.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat to sear the tuna steaks. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while leaving the inside rare.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tuna steaks. They should be seared for only 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
  • Serve the blackened ahi tuna steaks with soy mustard sauce, rice, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Blackened ahi tuna is a delicious and healthy dish that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can create a perfect blackened ahi tuna steak that is sure to impress your friends and family.
