SEARED AHI (BBQ TUNA STEAKS)
I've had this dish at many different restaurants. Almost all had done a great job at the preparation as its an easy meal to make. Garlic mashed potatoes really complete this dish.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a bowl or plate large enough to hold the tuna steak Place tuna steak in bowl, coating both sides with butter Sprinkle half of cajun seasoning on each side of steak For an extra spicy treat, add black pepper.
- I recommend cooking this outdoors on your grill.
- Cooking indoors will generate excessive smoke.
- Heat your grill to the highest possible temperature Turn off burners (to avoid flame up) then immediately add steak Cook for 2 minutes on first side Flip and cook on other side for 1 minute.
- (The steak will be very pink inside - yum!) Remove and serve immediately as it will cool quickly.
- I recommend serving over garlic mashed potatoes with either wasabi mustard or wasabi mustard/mayo mix.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Make the balsamic reduction: Place the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer until the mixture reduces by half. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed. This sauce does not have to be hot for serving. The reduction will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Slice the tuna fillet into four rectangular steaks of equal size. In a small bowl, combine the salt, coriander, paprika and cayenne pepper. Lay the tuna steaks out on a plate and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on all sides.
- Evenly coat the tuna steaks with the freshly ground black pepper, and gently press it in, so that it adheres to the surface, being careful not to smash the flesh.
- Place a thick-bottomed frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. When you see small wisps of smoke, add the tuna to the pan and sear the steaks for about one minute per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Remove the tuna steak and place on a cutting board. For presentation, cut each steak diagonally into 4-5 slices and fan on a plate. Serve with a small amount of sauce drizzled alongside. Garnish with additional lemon if desired.

Steps:
- Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Place on a plate or inside a plastic bag.
- Mix the soy sauce (2 tablespoons), toasted sesame oil (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon- OMIT if marinating for more than a couple hours, see notes), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon) until honey is fully dissolved. Pour over the ahi tuna steaks and turn over to coat completely. Optional: allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. Also optional: Reserve a spoonful or two of the marinade before coating the fish for drizzling on top after you've cooked it.
- Heat a medium skillet (preferably non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet) on medium-high to high until very hot ( or medium medium-high for nonstick). I recommend giving cast iron 3-5 minutes to get hot and nonstick about 1 minute, depending on how thick it is.
- Add the canola oil (1 tablespoon) to the hot pan. Sear the tuna for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare (1.5 minutes on each side for rare; 3 on each side for medium). (Note: different burners get hotter depending on your stove. Use your best judgement whether you use medium, medium-high, or high heat, as the marinade may burn if too high heat is used).
- Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for at least 3 minutes. Slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve garnished with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAKS

Steps:
- Salt and pepper generously the steaks. Heat the flat skillet you all have. Add 1 tablespoon or 2 of sesame oil. Sear the steaks at high heat 2 min. to the side if you like it rare. 3 min. if you have a finicky guest. My suggestion is to keep it on the rare side, after all, you all like suchi. Using tongs take the steaks out and tent to keep war. Lower the heat in the pan and add the soy sauce and the sherry, scrape bottom of pan. Let it warm a bit while the alcohol evaporates and softens and pour over the steaks. Sprinkle with the finely diced green onion and serve immediately. The night before, boil potatoes with their skin; don't let them fall apart. Refrigerate. Add quartered potatoes to another frying pan with a bit of olive oil or a mix of olive oil and one of those healthy olive oil spreads that taste like butter; stir in salt and pepper and any herb you wish. Let them get golden brown; add sliced mushrooms at the end and saute lightly.
