Japanese marinated fillet of tuna, also known as Maguro no Tataki, is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even sushi. The key to making a great tuna tataki is to use fresh, high-quality tuna and to marinate it in a flavorful sauce. There are many different variations of the marinade, but some common ingredients include soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sesame oil. Once the tuna is marinated, it is typically seared quickly on each side until it is just cooked through. This results in a tender and juicy tuna with a slightly crispy exterior. Tuna tataki can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ponzu sauce or a simple mixture of soy sauce and wasabi. It can also be served over rice or noodles, or used as a filling for tacos or sandwiches.
