SPICY TUNA ROLL WITH GINGER-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ginger-soy dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chile garlic sauce, garlic, scallions and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and set aside.
• For the spicy tuna: Mix the tuna with the mayo and chile garlic sauce in a medium bowl. Lightly toss to coat and set aside.
• For the sushi roll: Prepare a bamboo sushi rolling mat by wrapping it completely in a tight layer of plastic wrap. Additionally, fill a small bowl with water and the rice wine vinegar and set aside.
• Fold a sheet of nori about an inch up and remove the bottom piece. Briefly toast over an open flame until pliable, about 10 seconds.
• Put the toasted nori sheet shiny-side down on the wrapped bamboo mat. Gently press and spread some of the rice on the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch exposed on top. Dip your fingers in the water/vinegar bowl if the rice is sticking to your hands.
• Starting about 1/2 inch up from the bottom of the nori, spread a very small amount of wasabi paste along the length of the sheet. Spoon an even layer of the spicy tuna over the wasabi and place some of the cucumber strips on the sides of the spicy tuna. Add 3 to 4 pieces avocado in a single layer. Roll the nori up over the fillings and tuck under to enclose entirely. Gently press the bamboo mat and continue rolling to tighten. Remove the bamboo mat and trim the ends of the roll.
• With a clean knife, cut the sushi roll in half. Line up the halves and cut through both rolls to make 6 even pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll. Serve the rolls with a dollop of wasabi paste and small bowls of the dipping sauce.

GRILLED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare grill for two zone or direct/indirect grilling. Target the temperature between 500 and 600 degrees over direct heat. Ours was at 550.
• Pat dry the tuna with a paper towel.
• Combine the salt and pepper in a small dish and season the tuna steaks.
• Place the seasoned tuna steaks over direct heat and grill for approximately 3 minutes. Flip to the other side and cook an additional 3 minutes. The internal temperature should be between 125 and 130 degrees F for a medium rare steak.
• Remove from the grill. Slice the tuna into pencil thin slices and serve with the dipping sauce. Tuna is best served warm.

Steps:

• Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.

SESAME CRUSTED TUNA WITH JAPANESE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• The above ingredients can be found in a lot of regular grocery stores. But you will find them in just about any Asian grocery store. There are imitation mirins out there, which are without alcohol they are fine but tend to be sweeter I would use less if buying these.
• Cover one side of tuna completely with sesame seeds and place steaks back in fridge.
• Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan heat until blended and sugar has dissolved. Leave on low heat to keep warm.
• Heat some olive oil in a fry pan, place Tuna sesame seed side down cook for 4 minutes turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4 minutes. Tuna should be pink in the middle so vary cooking time for how thick the cut is. You can cook it all the way through if preferred, but the tuna will be a lot drier and tough.
• Serve tuna on plate with dipping sauce in separate small serving bowls.
• I served mine with spinach topped with a roasted sesame seed dressing.
