– Mixing Bowls – Grill – Garlic Press – Pepper Grinder – Corkscrew – Platters
– 2 ahi tuna (yellowfin tuna) steaks – 2 tablespoons soy sauce – 1 tablespoon honey see notes – 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil see notes – 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste – 1 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil – green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and lime wedges – 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 Grab some ahi tuna steaks. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Lay them out on a plate or toss them into a plastic bag. 2 Grab a medium skillet, the non-stick kind or a well-seasoned cast iron buddy. Heat it up – 3 to 5 minutes for cast iron, 1 minute for nonstick. Adjust based on thickness.
3 Add canola oil (1 tablespoon) to the hot pan. Sear the tuna for 1–1.5 minutes per side for medium-rare. 4 Go 2–2.5 minutes for medium-well to well-done, or just 30 seconds for the daring rare ones.
5 Transfer the tuna to a cutting board. Slice it into neat 1/2 inch pieces. 6 Serve it up with a sprinkle of green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime if you're feeling a bit fancy.
