Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ahi tuna, sushi or sashimi grade (3 steaks, 6 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup minced sweet yellow onion
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil (not toasted)
1 small garlic clove, grated
1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Small squeeze sriracha

Steps:

Slice the tuna into 1-inch cubes. Mince the onion. Thinly slice the green onions. Mix them in a bowl with the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, kosher salt and Sriracha.
Serve immediately, but for most authentic flavor marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Taste and add a sprinkle of salt before serving.* (Get this in the fridge while the rice boils and you prep the veggies, and you can eat when it's all done.)

CHEF JOHN'S HAWAIIAN-STYLE AHI POKE

The technique for making poke is so basic that even the most inexperienced cooks can get something close to what they'd get in a restaurant. But the one catch is you have to use only the freshest possible tuna, even if that means frozen.
