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!

  • Combine red pepper, serrano pepper, red onion, vinegar, olive oil, chili sauce and kosher salt to make the vinaigrette.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • Fish:.
  • Season tuna with salt and pepper.
  • Sear tuna on a very hot skillet with olive oil.

  • Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking.
  • Salsa:.
  • Dice the avocado into 1" cubes.
  • Dice the tomatoes.
