Zubereitung von Seared Ahi Marinade
- In a non-metallic bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 green onions (finely chopped), and 2 tablespoons lime juice.
- Add 1 pound ahi tuna steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
- Toast 1/4 cup sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until light brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. Gently crush the toasted sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon. Add 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Remove the ahi from the marinade and dredge generously in the sesame seed and pepper mixture.
- Sear the ahi for 2-3 minutes per side, until beautifully seared on the outside and rare in the center. Avoid overcooking!
- Serve immediately over white rice. Steam or roast 1 pound green beans and drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil before serving.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and extra sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
