Preparation
Step 1
BUERRE BLANC:
Combine the 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon shallot in a heavy stainless-steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook to reduce the liquid until it becomes syrupy. Add the 1/2 cup unsalted butter, stirring slowly; do not whisk. Take care not to let the mixture boil or it will separate. When the butter is incorporated, season with Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into the top of a doubler. Keep warm over barely simmering water.
HOT SOY MUSTARD SAUCE:
To prepare the soy mustard sauce, mix the 1/2 cup Coleman's mustard powder and 4 tablespoons hot water in a bowl to form a paste. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavor and heat to develop. Add the 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar and 1/2 cup soy sauce, mix together, and pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
BLACKENING SEASONING:
Mix the 3 tablespoons paprika, 1 teaspoons cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper together on a plate. Dredge the ahi in the spice mixture on top and bottom. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat and sear the ahi for 15 to 30 seconds on top and bottom for rare, 1 minute on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove the ahi and hold until plating.
Assemble all the ingredients on the plate and garnish with sauce, serve immediately.
