Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced ginger root
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon white sesame seeds, toasted in a dry pan until golden
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 pounds best-quality ahi tuna
6 cups loosely packed mizuna greens, curly endive or red leaf lettuce
1 cup marinated shiitake mushrooms (recipe follows), for optional garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, for garnish
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sliced garlic
1 tablespoon sliced fresh ginger root
3/4 pound baby shiitake mushroom caps, not more than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, wiped clean and stems removed
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sambal olek (Thai chile paste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Sesame Vinaigrette, recipe above

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over low-heat, stir in the ginger root and remove from the heat. Allow the mixture to infuse for 2 to 3 hours or overnight for the flavor to develop.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar and whisk in the sugar until it is dissolved. Remove from the heat and all to cool. Stir in the salt, pepper, sesame seeds, and soy sauce, then whisk in the sesame and vegetable oils until the mixture is completely emulsified.
  • Reheat the butter and ginger root infusion until it is soft enough to spread easily. Brush each sheet of aluminum foil with some of this mixture, and sprinkle with a little salt and white pepper. With a very sharp knife, slice the tuna about 3/8 inch thick against the grain and lay 2 slices in a single layer on each piece of foil. Preheat a grill, griddle, or large heavy skillet to very high heat.
  • Toss the greens with just enough vinaigrette to coat all the leaves and reserve the remaining vinaigrette for another use. Mound an equal quantity of the salad on each of 6 serving plates.
  • Transfer the sheets of foil to the hot grill and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the tuna is seared on one side and still raw on the other. Immediately transfer the tuna slices, raw side up, to the plates and drape them loosely around the edges of the salad. Garnish with the chives and the shiitake caps, if desired, and serve immediately.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger root, and mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are just seared and still dry. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and reduce over medium-high heat until almost no liquid remains. Stir in the sambal olek and salt and remove from the heat. Add the vinaigrette and stir to mix. Set aside and allow to marinate for at least 6 hours. The mushrooms can be kept covered in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.

PAN SEARED TUNA



Pan Seared Tuna image

I don't know if any of you have friends that won't eat 'raw' fish but I've conformed a bunch of my leary friends after they had this extremely rare tuna which was described by them more like a steak. Lots of oooos and ahhhhs. I like to add Asian Seasoning in the sauce also from the Pampered Chef line. Very Good and do not over cook the tuna, should be rare. I usually serve this as an appetizer but would make a great meal too!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tuna possible: Look for tuna that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Avoid tuna that is brown or has a slimy texture.
  • Sear the tuna over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the tuna while keeping the inside rare and juicy.
  • Do not overcook the tuna: Tuna is a very delicate fish, so it is important to cook it quickly. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Use a citrus-herb vinaigrette to dress the tuna: This will help to brighten up the flavor of the tuna and add a touch of acidity.
  • Serve the tuna with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared tuna with citrus-herb vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tuna is cooked quickly and easily, and the citrus-herb vinaigrette adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
