Seared Tuna with Grated Ginger and Chives
Prep Time: 60 min | Cook Time: 2 min | Total Time: 1 hour 15 mins | Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
8-10oz best bluefin tuna, preferably the tail end or a thin strip of loin
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger
1 bunch of fresh chives, finely sliced
DIRECTIONS
Marinate your tuna in a little soy sauce for 1 hour. Pat dry with paper towel, rub with sesame oil and sear for around 2 minutes in a very hot nonstick frying pan, turning regularly. Allow to sit for 1 minute while you peel and finely grate the ginger. To serve, place a little blob of fresh ginger and a small pile of chives on one side of each plate, with a pool of soy sauce in the middle. Using a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 1/4” to 1/2” inch slices, giving each person at least 3 or 4 pieces.
