Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1 pound sashimi-grade ahi tuna (steaks or loin)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (from about a 1/2-inch piece)
1/2 cup ponzu
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 Fresno chile, thinly sliced
Canola oil, for cooking
2 shallots, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Olive oil, for searing
1 scallion, finely sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • Combine the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Lightly rub the tuna in the olive oil, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Press the tuna into the sesame seeds, applying firm pressure so the seeds stick. Cover completely and chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 5 minutes, to allow the seeds to stick.
  • For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, ponzu, soy, vinegar, sesame oil and Fresno. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
  • In a large nonstick pan, heat 1/2 inch canola oil to 320 degrees F.
  • Add the shallots to the oil in small batches and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain. Season with salt.
  • Add 1/4 cup olive oil to another large, nonstick pan and turn the heat on high until hot. Add the sesame-crusted tuna and sear all over for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and slice 1/2-inch thick.
  • Shingle the tuna on a platter, then sprinkle over the fried shallots and sliced scallions. Serve with the vinaigrette alongside.

Cold Sliced Veal with a Tuna Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Time 10h25m

Yield 6 to 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 to 4 quarts cold water
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dry thyme
1 tablespoon rosemary
Parsley sprigs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
3 pound veal roast, preferably shoulder, breast, or top round, uniformly tied
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/3 lemon juice
2-ounce jar anchovy fillet
4 tablespoons drained capers
1 (7-ounce) jar imported, olive oil packed tuna
6 stems fresh parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Serving suggestion: green bean salad and a tomato - basil salad

Steps:

  • Put enough water into a pot large enough to hold the veal on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Add the carrots, onions, celery, bay, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt and pepper to the boiling water and continue to boil for 15 minutes. Add the veal roast to the bouillon, return to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the veal for 2 hours or until tender. Turn off the heat and allow the veal to cool in the bouillon in which it was cooked. When cool, transfer the liquid and veal to a clean container and refrigerate the veal, covered with the bouillon, overnight. Put the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, anchovies, capers, tuna parsley, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the oil, while the processor is running, until the tuna vinaigrette is emulsified. Remove the veal from the refrigerator, drain the liquid, and slice the veal into very thin slices. Lay the sliced veal out on a platter, spoon on a thin layer of tuna sauce, and cover with another layer of veal. Continue with the layering of veal and tuna sauce until all the veal has been used and the final layer is a topping of veal. Refrigerate for several hours and serve with a green bean salad and a tomato - basil salad.

MARINATED SEARED TUNA, CRISPY VEGETABLES, TAPENADE VINAIGRETTE



Marinated Seared Tuna, Crispy Vegetables, Tapenade Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head fennel
2 pink radishes
1 stalk celery
2 scallions
2 asparagus spears
1 cup soy sauce
1 minced clove garlic
1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
8 ounce yellowfin tuna
3 tablespoons black olive puree
3 tablespoons basil puree
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Slice all the vegetables thinly with a very sharp mandoline and put them in icy water for about an hour. Combine marinade ingredients. Cut the tuna in a long thin slices about 1/2-inch thick and let sit in the marinade for about 20 minutes. In a medium size skillet over high heat sear the tuna briefly, until rare. Reserve on the side once done. Drain all the vegetables, dry them and season with a little bit of lemon and olive oil seasoned to taste. Place a small amount in the middle of the plate and add the thin slice of tuna on top of it. Combine tapenade dressing and drizzle vinaigrette on tuna.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna, look for fish that is bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid tuna that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Searing the tuna quickly over high heat will help to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside of the fish rare and tender.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also sear the tuna in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • To make the sesame vinaigrette, simply whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and ginger. You can adjust the proportions of each ingredient to taste.
  • Serve the spicy seared tuna with the sesame vinaigrette and your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Spicy seared tuna with sesame vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The tuna is seared until it is crispy on the outside and rare on the inside, and the sesame vinaigrette adds a flavorful and tangy touch. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
