Steps:
- Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients to make a marinade. Towel dry tuna steaks and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over the fish, turning to coat well throughout. Cover tightly and chill several hours to overnight; turn fish over at least once in the middle of marinade time.
- Sear: Heat 3 TB oil in a large heavy skillet (aluminum or stainless steel; not nonstick) until oil is smoking. Sear ahi steaks 1 1/2 minutes per side on high heat, taking care to flip carefully with a flat, steel spatula. (If your tuna is less than 1 1/2 inches thick, sear for only 1 minute per side.)
- Rest/Cool: Transfer seared ahi to a large cutting board and let rest/cool 10 minutes. Use a very sharp (serrated works well) knife to slice thinly across the grain.
- Serve: Serve chilled or at room temp, over your favorite salad greens or crispy Asian salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions, if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo if desired.

AHI TUNA MARINADE
Our family was first introduced to the concept of "rare" Ahi Tuna when my sister-inlaw opened an inland NJ seafood restaurant. Frequently, she tested new recipes on us as well as her family & friends. The first time I tasted it, I was surprised to find out how good the rare tuna was! I then decided to create my own marinade that was more to our liking. The trick is to just sear the fish on a hot frying pan for 1-2 minutes per side and then serve immediately.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 4 large pieces for appetizer portion, 2 large pieces for dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble a miniature brick.
- Season the tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot as you can get it. Place the tuna in the pan, and sear on each side for about 45 seconds for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from pan. The tuna will be very rare.
- Slice each 'brick' into 1/4 inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or with the condiments of your choice.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks or fillets that are fresh, firm, and have a vibrant red color.
- Slice tuna against the grain: This helps tenderize the tuna and makes it easier to chew.
- Use a sharp knife: A dull knife will tear the tuna and make it less flavorful.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Ahi tuna is best cooked rare or medium-rare. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
- Use a hot pan: This will help sear the tuna and create a nice crust.
- Let the tuna rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite.
- Serve tuna with a variety of sauces and toppings: Some popular options include soy sauce, wasabi, ginger, and sesame seeds.
Conclusion:
Ahi tuna is a delicious and versatile fish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're grilling, searing, or baking it, the key to cooking ahi tuna perfectly is to use fresh, high-quality fish and not overcook it. With a little practice, you'll be able to create delicious ahi tuna dishes that will impress your family and friends.
