Description
This pan seared tuna tataki recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make. I learned it when I was working at Zuma in London and it’s one of the best seared tuna recipes.
Ingredients
- FOR THE SAUCE OR DRESSING:
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
- 1 Spring Onion, Finely Sliced
- FOR THE TUNA:
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
- 12 ounces, weight Tuna Block
- Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
- 2 Tablespoons Sprouts, For Garnish
- 2 Tablespoons Sliced Red Chili, For Garnish
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds, For Garnish
Preparation
In a small bowl, mix tataki sauce/dressing ingredients and set aside.
Heat a bit of oil in a nonstick pan over high heat. Place tuna on a clean board or plate and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Sear tuna for 15–20 seconds on each side, and be careful not to overcook. Transfer cooked tuna on a clean board and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice tuna thinly and make sure you cut against the grain, then set it on your serving plate. Garnish the tuna with sprouts, chili slices, and sesame seeds.
Serve with tataki sauce/dressing and enjoy!
