Ahi Tuna

Ok no joke, Ahi Tuna is my favorite. It a little price when going out but I always order it if it's on the menu. Then I got to thinking, I can make this at home! You have to pick up sushi grade tuna. I found this at Sam's club in the frozen section....I know you are thinking frozen??

But it turns out all sushi has been previously frozen unless you just caught the fish out of the ocean. Yes, they deep frezze most fish before they sell it so that there is no harmful bacteria. Also if you are going to buy it fresh don't buy it if it smells fishy!! Fishy smelling Tuna is not god for sushi grade or good period. It should not smell.

You have to defrost it in cold water in the sink. Then you have to get a pan blazing hot with a little bit ( I mean little bit, like a tablespoon) of olive oil. Don't let your olive oil smoke or it's too hot. Probably like a 8 out of 10 on most stoves is good temp.

Then you take your Ahi Steaks of tuna and roll it in black and white seasame seeds. You do this by taking a plate and putting the seasame seeds on it then taking your tuna and covering it on all sides. Try to keep your hands dry or it will stick to your hands.

Then take tongs and sear your tuna on all sides only for about 5 to 10 seconds. You want your tune still raw in the middle. Then I served mine on a side salad with pickeled ginger and wasabi on the side. ENJOY!!!
