Ingredients for the tuna tataki recipe
- 400g tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced green peppers
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation for the Tuna Tataki recipe
Preheat barbecue to medium heat.
Prepare vinaigrette by mixing olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat or prepare an indirect cooking zone on the barbecue.
Meanwhile, spread the sesame seeds on a flat plate.
Once the pan is hot or the barbecue is ready, place the tuna steak on top and cook quickly on each side, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on the thickness of the steak. The goal is to sear the outside of the tuna while leaving the inside raw.
Remove the tuna steak from the heat and roll in the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
Leave the tuna steak to rest for a few minutes, then slice into 1cm slices.
Meanwhile, arrange the cherry tomatoes and diced peppers on a bed of mixed green salad.
Place the tuna slices on top of the salad.
Before serving, drizzle the salad and tuna with the vinaigrette prepared earlier.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
