Ahi Tuna Steak with Broccolini Slaw

Name: Ahi Tuna Steak with Broccolini Slaw
Yield: 2 Steaks

Yellowfin tuna, also know as Ahi tuna, is used in many raw seafood dishes because of its “sushi-grade” quality. This fish is also perfect for grilling, but should always be served rare. Great for any occasion, this light meal highlights fresh, lightly-blanched vegetables. The vegetables can easily be substituted with any seasonal produce from your local market. This dish will pair beautifully with a light white wine such as the Vintner’s Blend White from the CrossRoads winery, located in Frisco, Texas. The aromas of honeysuckle and lemon will highly compliment your seared Ahi tuna steak.

Tips:

Do not overcook your Ahi tuna steak. This sushi-grade tuna is meant to be served rare.
Leftover tuna steak can be served chilled the next day.

Ingredients

2 – 6 oz. Ahi tuna steaks (3/4 pound)
1 tbsp sesame oil
Tuna Rub
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp coriander
Broccolini Slaw
2 cups broccolini, shredded
1 cup carrots, shredded
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tbsp garlic chili sauce (Lee Kum Kee or other brand)
1/2 tbsp honey
Dipping Sauce
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
1/2 tsp wasabi paste

Steps

Step 1
Prep the tuna steaks
Add the salt, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, ground ginger and coriander to a bowl and whisk to combine. Rub each side of the tuna steak with approximately 1/2 tbsp of the tuna rub.
Step 2
Sear the tuna steaks
Place a heavy pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the pan. When the oil begins to smoke, add both tuna steaks to the pan. Sear for 1 minute. Flip the tuna steaks over and sear an additional 1 minute. The tuna steak should be rare and pink on the inside.
Step 3
Make the broccolini slaw
Place a 1.5 – 2 quart pot of water on the stove at high heat and boil the water. Shred the broccolini and carrots. Blanch the vegetable in the boiling water for 1 minute. Strain the vegetables and place them in a large bowl. Add the apple cider vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, Greek yogurt, chili sauce and honey to the bowl and mix thoroughly to incorporate the yogurt.
Step 4
Make the dipping sauce
Add the soy sauce, mirin and wasabi paste to a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the wasabi paste dissolves.
Step 5
Serve
Place the Ahi tuna steak on a plate and top it with 1 cup of the broccolini slaw. Place the dipping sauce in a small serving bowl next to the tuna steak. Serve.
