Ingredients

Ahi Tuna

2 ahi tuna steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
sesame seeds optional
chopped scallions optional

Sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Give it a taste and adjust the flavors if needed then set aside.
Season both sides of 2 ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper .
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for 45 seconds-1 minute on each side.
Slice the tuna and serve it with the sauce! Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired.

Notes

My ahi tuna steaks were about 1" thick and I cooked them for 1 minute/side.
Be sure to use sushi-grade ahi tuna for taste and food safety reasons.
I like to keep fresh ginger in the freezer because it's easier to grate, and I always have some on-hand that way.
