Sesame Encrusted Ahi seared tuna steak recipe
Tuna is a truly amazing food with a number of benefits that contribute to a style healthy lifestyle. Tuna is rich in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and has been known to reduce the risk of heart disease. It is also low in fat and cholesterol so it is a great alternative to beef. Not only is tuna a powerhouse of nutrition, is also one of the most delicious source of lean protein never "sink your teeth into.
Tuna is also easy to cook. It's a tough fish and holds together well on the grill, in oven, or cover the stove. The following recipe is one of my favorites and it's quite easy to prepare.
I made this particular dish the other day and it was absolutely wonderful. My wife, who would not normally eat large portions, cleaned his plate and wanted more, so that's a very good sign.
The thickness of the fillets of tuna is used it really depends on what you like rare tuna. Because you are only searing the outside of the tuna steak, pot will not be for long. So the most thicker the steak, the rarest of the center will be.
I personally do not like my tuna too rare, so they usually do this recipe with thinner cuts tuna. This is just a preference, not a requirement. Many people, including chefs say the only way to eat tuna is rare. I guess I will have to be the judge.
We turn to the recipe shall we?
Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna seared with cilantro, garlic and Lime sauce ..
I should mention one thing before starting this recipe. I do not follow exact measurements in recipes. Mido all that to the naked eye, so that the following measures to be used only as a guide. So not too mad at me!
This is optional, but I like to toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan first before putting them in tuna. The seeds become nutty and aromatic when the toast. This is highly advisable if you have the time and is quite easy to do. Simply heat a dry skillet medium heat, add the seeds shaking the pan occasionally. You may have to do this in batches, depending on how many seeds are toasted. You will not want to saturate the tray. Keep an eye on the seeds and make sure they do not burn. Toast them until they darken slightly and begin to be fragrant. Remove and let cool before adding the tuna.
INGREDIENTS:
1 / 4 cup Black sesame seeds
1 / 4 cup white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon oil sesame
2-6 ounce Ahi (Also known as yellowfin) tuna grilled
Salt and pepper to taste
MARINADE / Salsa
1 / 2 cup soy sauce, low sodium (Who needs the extra sodium, right?)
1 lemon (juice and Zest – If you want more lime flavor, add another)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1) Prepare marinade. Add all marinade ingredients in small bowl and mix well. Reserve half of this marinade in a separate container for use as a dipping sauce.
2) Get a glass baking dish or other non-reactive container to marinade the tuna in. You want the tuna steaks well arranged on the plate so that they are surrounded by very well with the marinade. Pour the marinade into the dish and place the tuna steaks and kind of swirl the marinade around to coat the fish well. Cover with a little warm plastic and refrigerate. Another option is to pour the marinade into a large zip lock bag, add the tuna and then squeeze out the air. Marinade for 30 minutes at hours, turning the tuna halfway through.
3) Remove tuna from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes or so.
4) Remove tuna from marinade, shaking off any excess marinade and dry with paper towels.
5) Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil sesame. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
6) While the pan heats up, organize your sesame seeds on a flat dish. Tuna Roll particularly in the seeds pressing down as you roll to ensure that the seeds are placed in tuna well.
7) Add the tuna to the hot saute pan and shake a bit to make sure the tuna does not stick. Sear for 30 to 40 seconds on each side.
Remove and serve with reserved sauce dip.
Dish with this recipe I usually keep things pretty soft and do not want anything to compete with the flavors in the tuna. So I usually prepare a side of beans steamed green with a little butter, salt and pepper or other vegetables along with a few seasoned jasmine or basmati rice.
There you have it. I hope you enjoy this Seared Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna recipe. I'm not a big wine drinker, but for those of you who like a drink or two with dinner, I heard a good Pinot Grigio is very well with tuna. Buon Appetito!
