EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER



Easiest Ahi Tuna Ever image

I came up with this the first time I purchased an ahi tuna steak to make at home. For me, less is more when it comes to ahi because I really love the flavor of the fish. This recipe is super easy and it makes a great presentation over a baby spinach salad.

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces ahi tuna steaks, sushi grade
2 -3 tablespoons peppercorns, cracked
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
  • Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
  • Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
  • Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
  • Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
  • Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).
