Ingredients

Scale

Ahi Tuna Steaks:

  • 1–1.5 lbs Ahi Tuna Steaks (about 2 large tuna steaks)

Ahi Tuna Marinade:

  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Mikes Hot Honey or regular honey
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  2. Marinating the Tuna: In a shallow dish, place your tuna steaks and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 3-6 hours for best results.
  3. Searing the Tuna: Heat coconut oil in a cast iron pan over high heat. Sear each tuna steak for 45 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on desired rareness.
  4. Resting and Slicing: Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain with a serrated knife.
  5. Serving: Top the seared tuna with sesame seeds and sliced avocado before serving.

Notes

  • Make extra marinade as a dipping sauce.
  • Use a large cast iron dutch oven to prevent oil splatter.
  • Use coconut oil for its high smoke point.
