By á-2128

Ingredients

• 4 Ahi Tuna Steaks (Sushi grade)
• 1 1/3 c soy sauce
• 4 T freshly microplane-grated ginger
• 8 freshly microplaned-grated garlic
• 4 teasp brown sugar
• 8 limes, juiced
• 1 c olive oil
• 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 avocados, cubed
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Avocado & Cilantro Lime Dressing:
Add the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and lime juice to a bowl and whisk together. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking as you do, until incorporated into the dressing. Taste and adjust oil/salt/acidity, if needed. Add the chopped cilantro and mix gently.

Take a dry, non-stick pan over medium-high heat, until hot. Season the tuna steaks on one with with salt and pepper.

Place the tuna, seasoned side down, into the pan. It should sizzle loudly. Season the side facing up, allow the tuna steak to cook for just a minute and than flip over.

Immediately spoon a large spoonful of the dressing over the cooked side of the tuna. It will sizzle around the tuna as it cooks for barely one more minute, forming a syrupy glaze around the bottom of the tuna steak.

Remove from the pan to a plate, top with the cubed avocado and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Enjoy!
