SEARED AHI TUNA SEA STEAK OVER MEXI-ASIAN SALSA



Seared Ahi Tuna Sea Steak over Mexi-Asian Salsa image

This is a wonderful fusion dish that seems advanced and complicated but is SO easy to make (and sure to impress)! Please use the highest quality, sushi-grade ahi tuna for best results. Also, I have made this using a Thai chili or a Serrano chili-- both are great, so it is whatever you prefer. The creamy, beautiful taste and texture of the tuna is complimented so well by the heat from the chili and the savory combination of Mexican and Asian flavors-- it is amazing. If you are a fan of Ahi tuna, I guarantee that this will be one of your favorite recipes! Serve it with some fresh homemade margaritas... or some chilled sake-- whatever you prefer! Enjoy!

1 cup green beans, trimmed and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped pickled ginger
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup canola oil
6 square wonton sheets, cut into 1/8-inch wide strips
2 tablespoons ginger, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO SALSA



Seared Tuna Steak With Avocado Salsa image

This recipe is from Eddie V's Edgewater Grill in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is the original recipe; however, I make a few slight changes to the recipe (to accomodate my personal tastes) when I make it. First, I add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to bring out the flavors a little more. Second, I only use 2 Tbsp. of olive oil (instead of the recommended 4 Tbsp.) because I like a chunkier vinaigrette. Third, I chop the cilantro and sprinkle it on top of the fish and salsa. Either way, it is a great recipe and worth having at least once!
