Seared Tuna Steak With Avocado Salsa image

This recipe is from Eddie V's Edgewater Grill in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is the original recipe; however, I make a few slight changes to the recipe (to accomodate my personal tastes) when I make it. First, I add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to bring out the flavors a little more. Second, I only use 2 Tbsp. of olive oil (instead of the recommended 4 Tbsp.) because I like a chunkier vinaigrette. Third, I chop the cilantro and sprinkle it on top of the fish and salsa. Either way, it is a great recipe and worth having at least once!

1 tablespoon red bell pepper, very finely diced
1 tablespoon serrano pepper, very finely diced
1 tablespoon red onion, very finely diced
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste (Asian chili sauce)

1/2 cup fresh tomato, diced
6 fresh cilantro stems

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette:.
  • Combine red pepper, serrano pepper, red onion, vinegar, olive oil, chili sauce and kosher salt to make the vinaigrette.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • Fish:.
  • Season tuna with salt and pepper.
  • Sear tuna on a very hot skillet with olive oil.
  • Cook to desired doneness (rare if preferable).
  • Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking.
  • Salsa:.
  • Dice the avocado into 1" cubes.
  • Dice the tomatoes.
  • Mix the tomato and avocado together.

  • Place fish on serving dish.
  • Top with diced avocado and tomato.

  • Changes:.
  • Again, I like to add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to give the flavors a little more punch, I only use 2 tablespoons olive oil in the vinaigrette to make it more bulky, and I like to garnish the fish with chopped cilantro instead of sprigs.
