Just a quick post on my experimentation cooking Ahi, as I was inspired by the Ahi Salad at the Daily Grill
Ingredients
Ahi Tuna Steak from Costco
Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
Garlic Powder
Sesame Seeds
Black Pepper (coarse ground)
Soy Sauce
Lemon Juice
Olive Oil
Toasted Sesame Oil
Not shown in pictures, but I first soaked the Ahi Steaks (Whole) in Soy Sauce, Lemon Juice and a dash of toasted sesame oil.
Seasoning the Ahi - I cut two ahi Steaks against the muscle line into two-inch wide strips. and then seasoned with the Paprika, Cayenne, Garlic Powder, Course Ground Pepper, Sesame Seeds
Searing the Ahi - Cooked the first side on high for 2 minutes, flipped to the opposite side for 1 minute.
Fliped tuna on the remaining sides for less than a minute each
Searing is done, perhaps I overdid it just a tad...won't know till I cut it open though! Good way to tell is my how firm it is by pushing in on the center of the loin with your thumb
Cut the strips into 1-2 inch cubes, exposing the raw interior
Cook the stir fry
