Seared Ahi Tuna
Ingredients: 3 steaks of Ahi tuna, 1/2 cup of soysauce, 1/2 tea-spoon Chinese five-spice (I found it at Ralphs), 3/4 tea-spoon Chesapeake Bay seasoning (great for all types of sea food), 1 table-spoon wasabi (depending on how spicy you like your food you can add less), 1 tea-spoon olive oil
In a large container pour soy sauce, 1/2 tea-spoon of chinese five-spice, 3/4 tea-spoon of Chesapeake bay seasoning, wasabi, and olive oil. Use a whisk to mix well until it’s slightly foamy. After you rinse your steaks and pat them dry place in the marinade and close container. Refrigerate for 1 hour (you can do 1/2 hour but the longer you marinade the juicier your steak will be).
Heat skillet to medium-high heat and spray a light layer of cooking oil. You can use avocado oil, canola or olive oil. Place your steak on skillet and turn over 1 1/2 – 2 minutes on each side. (I like my steaks seared and raw on the inside so you can do less or more based on preferences but you should do no longer than 2 1/2 minutes of your steak will be dry and fully cooked.)
Remove from skillet and serve to your soon to be happy guests! 🙂
