Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tuna steaks

Steps:

  • Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
  • Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
  • Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO SALSA



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!

SEARED SESAME TUNA & GRILLED AVOCADO-MANGO SALSA RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Seared Sesame Tuna & Grilled Avocado-Mango Salsa Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by ruthg

Number Of Ingredients 22

TUNA:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 Ahi Tuna steaks
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Kosher salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
AVACADO SALSA:
2 cups tomatoes, diced
1/2 medium white onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, minced
1 lime, juiced plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 avocado, halved and seed removed
1 mango, halved and seed removed
2 tablespoons canola oil
cayenne pepper to taste
cumin to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • AHI TUNA: Turn on grill and set to high. In a small basting bowl, mix olive and sesame oils. Liberally brush the oil mixture over the tuna steaks. Toss both black and white sesame seeds in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Press the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, covering all sides of the fish. Grill the tuna, searing the fish on all sides for 45 seconds to 2 minutes. The fish should have grill marks but still be medium rare in the center. Remove from the grill, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, slice and serve the tuna with grilled avocado-mango salsa and summer greens. SALSA: Turn on grill and set to high. Combine the tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, juice of one lime, and vinegar. Score the cut sides of both the avocado and mango, then brush with a mixture of the canola oil and the reserved 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Grill the avocado and mango for 3 to 4 minutes, turning a quarter turn after 60-90 seconds and removing from heat once cross-hatch grill marks are in place. Discard the skin and chop the seared avocado and mango. Combine with the other vegetables. Season to taste with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, drain any excess liquid and serve.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna, look for fish that is bright red in color and has a mild, briny smell.
  • To ensure even cooking, pat the tuna steaks dry before searing.
  • Sear the tuna steaks over high heat for a few minutes per side, until they are browned on the outside and rare or medium-rare on the inside.
  • Make sure the avocado salsa is fresh and flavorful. Use ripe avocados, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
  • Serve the seared tuna steaks immediately, topped with the avocado salsa.

Conclusion:

Seared tuna steak with avocado salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The tuna is cooked to perfection, with a crispy crust and a tender, juicy interior. The avocado salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the tuna, and the two dishes come together to create a meal that is both satisfying and nutritious.
