Instructions
Bluefin Tuna Tataki with Ponzu Sauce
- Marinate the Tuna: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and ginger. Marinate the bluefin tuna steaks for about 10-15 minutes in the fridge.
- Sear the Tuna: Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, ensuring the center stays rare. Remove and let rest for a minute.
- Slice the Tuna: Thinly slice the tuna steaks.
- Serve with Ponzu Sauce: Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate. Drizzle Ponzu sauce over the tuna or serve it on the side. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and microgreens.
