ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AHI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, sesame oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.
• Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER

Steps:

• Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
• Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
• Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
• Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
• Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).
