Steps:
- Slice off and discard the veiny stub of meat from the tuna, then slice into rough 3cm chunks. Place the sesame seeds onto a tray, then add the tuna chunks, turning them over in the seeds so they're nicely coated.
- Heat a good drizzle of olive and sesame oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Peel and thinly slice the garlic, then add most of it to the pan. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden and crisp, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate (don't drain away the oil!).
- Return the pan to the heat and allow to heat up again, then add the sesame-coated tuna to the garlicky oil. Sear on one side for 10 to 20 seconds. Using tongs, turn the tuna over and keep cooking until you've seared only four sides of each chunk. Transfer to a plate.
- Peel and finely grate the ginger, then add to a bowl with the soy, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the remaining sliced garlic. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, then mix well to combine. Have a taste and add a squeeze more lemon juice, if needed.
- Cut the seared tuna into slices, roughly 1cm thick, then arrange on your plates. Drizzle over the Asian dressing, scatter the garlic chips on top and tear over the coriander leaves. Trim and finely slice the spring onion and chilli at an angle, scatter on top, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

SEARED AHI TUNA SEA STEAK OVER MEXI-ASIAN SALSA
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!

Steps:
- Place tuna steak in a shallow dish with the terryaki marinade and allow to marinate for about 10 minutes on each side.
- In the meantime, mix the pico de gallo, terryaki, soy, ginger, lime, cilantro and chili in a small mixing bowl, and set aside.
- Place a grill pan on the stove and preheat on high. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and sear the Ahi steak, about 1 minute on each side.
- Spread the pico de gallo across a serving dish, and thinly slice the Ahi Tuna, placing it over the salsa. Garnish with cilantro sprig and lime wedges, if desired.
Tips:
- Select the right tuna steaks: Choose steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a firm texture. Look for steaks that are a deep red color with a slight sheen.
- Sear the tuna steaks properly: The key to perfectly seared tuna is to get a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare. To achieve this, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice crust has formed.
- Don't overcook the tuna steaks: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the steaks for just a few minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Use a flavorful marinade: A marinade can help to add flavor and moisture to the tuna steaks. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, or you can get more creative with your flavors. Experiment with different marinades to find one that you like.
- Serve the tuna steaks with a variety of sides: Seared tuna steaks are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

Seared Asian tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes.
