Steps:
- Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients to make a marinade. Towel dry tuna steaks and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over the fish, turning to coat well throughout. Cover tightly and chill several hours to overnight; turn fish over at least once in the middle of marinade time.
- Sear: Heat 3 TB oil in a large heavy skillet (aluminum or stainless steel; not nonstick) until oil is smoking. Sear ahi steaks 1 1/2 minutes per side on high heat, taking care to flip carefully with a flat, steel spatula. (If your tuna is less than 1 1/2 inches thick, sear for only 1 minute per side.)
- Rest/Cool: Transfer seared ahi to a large cutting board and let rest/cool 10 minutes. Use a very sharp (serrated works well) knife to slice thinly across the grain.
- Serve: Serve chilled or at room temp, over your favorite salad greens or crispy Asian salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions, if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo if desired.

SEARED AHI MARINADE
I wanted a recipe that was similar to the ones I have had a restaurant in the past. I searched the site and found some good sauces for seared ahi- but just not what I was looking for. I found one a lot like I was looking for at Simple Recipes- I tweeked it a bit and I'm posting it here for safe keeping because it was so yummy!! Mind you- it was fresh, wild caught ahi- which can make a difference. I'll let you know how it goes with frozen fish, should I break down and try it (but with two avid ocean fisherman in the neighborhood hood, it will be a desperate move!)

Steps:
- Mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and lime juice in a non metal bowl. Add ahi and coat , cover tightly, and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a pan until light brown (I prefer a blend of white and black sesame seeds- the black ones are hard to find, try an asian market). Remove seeds and allow to cool on a flat plate (you will use this plate to dredge the tuna in)- add cracked pepper.
- Add olive oil to a skillet and allow it to get HOT.
- Dredge the ahi in the sesame seeds and pepper to coat and add to the hot pan.
- Cook only two or three minutes on each side so that the ahi is seared on the outside and rare on the inside.
- Serve with white rice and green beans that have been either roasted or cooked and drizzled with sesame oil. Sprinkle any extra sesame seeds over the top.
- garnish with remaining green onion and ENJOY!

SEARED AHI TUNA WITH BLACKBERRY-PASSION FRUIT MARINADE
This is a great summer dish. The marinade is great for grilling tuna, too. I usually serve this with a spinach salad with my passion fruit-dijon vinaigrette or my fennel salad. You can serve it with steamed white rice or over lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, or fennel. Pair it with a passion fruit lemonade, a fruity cocktail, or a glass of light and fruity wine.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ahi tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are a deep red color and have a firm texture. Avoid steaks that are brown or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the ahi tuna for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, and ginger is a good place to start.
- Sear the ahi tuna over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside rare. Cook the ahi tuna for about 2 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Serve the ahi tuna immediately: Ahi tuna is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with a variety of toppings, such as sliced avocado, diced mango, or a drizzle of teriyaki sauce.
Conclusion:
Seared ahi tuna is a delicious and healthy main course that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can easily create a delicious seared ahi tuna dish that your family and friends will love.
