Our family was first introduced to the concept of rare Ahi Tuna when my sister-inlaw opened an inland NJ seafood restaurant. Frequently, she tested new recipes on us as well as her family & friends. The first time I tasted it, I was surprised to find out how good the rare tuna was! I then decided to create my own marinade that was more to our liking. The trick is to just sear the fish on a hot frying pan for 1-2 minutes per side and then serve immediately.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce
1 lb tuna steak (sushi grade, ahi)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves (minced)
Directions:
1. Combine 1 cup of Teriyaki Sauce with 3 minced garlic cloves to create marinade.
2. Reserve 1/2 cup of Teriyaki sauce and 1 garlic clove. Refrigerate.
3. Place tuna in a shallow dish and poor marinade over fish.
4. Marinade for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
5. Throw out marinade.
6. Saute remaining minced garlic clove until tender in 1 TBSP of olive oil.
7. Remove from pan.
8. Sear tuna on in same frying pan for 1-2 minutes per side.
9. While tuna is cooking place reserved sauteed garlic & teriyaki sauce over tuna.
10. Remove from heat and serve with Teriyaki & Garlic on top.
11. Enjoy.
