SEARED AHI TUNA AND AVOCADO TARTARE

Michael Shrader of Nine Restaurant Group in Palm Springs, Florida, writes: "Both sides of my family cooked a lot when I was growing up, so I've had plenty of inspiration to draw on as a chef. From my mother's Sicilian heritage, I learned about homemade pasta, braised meats, and biscotti-before they became fashionable. My dad is part German, and he was known for his talents working the grill. On my days off from the restaurant, I cook for my wife at home. We tend to eat light, and I cook with foods that are in season since I've never been one for complicated dishes. It's just not my style. I'd rather have sliced tomatoes with a good olive oil or pasta with vegetables than something fussy." A sophisticated, fresh, and spicy dip for tortilla chips or baguette rounds.

Tired of spending ten dollars or more for a simple Seared Ahi Tuna Appetizer and over thirty dollars for a Seared Ahi Tuna dinner? Well, now you can go to your local fish market, grocery store or even Costco and pick up some Ahi (or Yellowfin) Tuna and do it yourself. So simple, but so elegant!

Provided by ATOMICLUSH

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound sashimi grade yellowfin tuna
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil

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:

  • Use the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna should be bright red in color and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid tuna that is brown or gray, or that has a strong fishy smell.
  • Cut the tuna against the grain. This will help to prevent the tuna from becoming tough and chewy.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the tuna. This will also help to prevent the tuna from becoming tough and chewy.
  • Do not overmix the tuna tartare. Overmixing will make the tuna tartare tough and chewy.
  • Serve the tuna tartare immediately. Tuna tartare is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Ahi tuna tartare with avocado, crispy shallots, and soy-sesame dressing is a delicious and refreshing appetizer or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. You can add more or less spice, adjust the amount of soy sauce, or use a different type of fish. No matter how you make it, ahi tuna tartare is sure to be a hit with your guests.
