Black And Blue Ahi Tuna Food

BLACK AND BLUE AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in saucepan and saute peppers and onion with salt, pepper and oregano.
• In a small bowl mix all spices for tuna and season steaks on all sides. About 2 minute per side.
• Heat skillet on high and sear tuna on all sides in olive oil.
• In a bowl combine ingredients for mustard sauce.
• To serve slice tuna 1/4 inch thick and top with sauce and vegetables.

SESAME-CRUSTED TUNA

Steps:

• In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast the white sesame seeds until they are just beginning to turn light golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and spread seeds on a plate. Add the black sesame seeds to the plate if using, and stir seeds around with fingertips to combine.
• Brush the tuna pieces on all sides with olive oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper, and dip tuna pieces in the seeds, pressing to coat on all sides. Set aside on a wax foil lined cookie sheet.
• When ready to cook, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high in the skillet. When oil is hot, add the butter, when the butter foams, add the fish to the skillet. Let cook without moving the fish for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the sesame crust begins to crisp and brown. When the crust is golden brown, turn the fish and cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes, adding additional butter if needed to keep the fish from sticking and speed up the browning. Once the second side is browned, turn the fish pieces on edge with tongs, to brown the remaining sides.
• Remove from heat and set aside. Fish will be medium rare at this point. If you prefer fish more well done, place the ban with the fish in a 375 degree F oven for another 3 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, slice each portion in half and place on the pasta bed with the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with finishing salt, if desired.

BLACKENED TUNA

Steps:

• Generously coat tuna with Cajun seasoning.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is nearly smoking, place steaks in pan. Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until blackened. Turn steaks, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or to desired doneness.

BLACK AND BLUE TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the wine, vinegar and shallots.
• Simmer until reduced to about 2 T. of liquid.
• Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, return the liquid to the pan, discard the shallots.
• Whisk in the wasabi and soy sauce.
• Over low heat, gradually whisk in the butter, on piece at a time, allowing the mixture to emulify.
• Do not let the mixture boil.
• When all the butter has been mixed in, remove from heat, pour into a small bowl and set aside.
• Brush the tuna steaks with a little oil.
• Either pan sear or BBQ to desired doneness.
• 3 minutes per side will leave a rare center.
• 5 minutes per side will be "pink".
• Watch closely, though.
• Serve with the sauce.
