Tuna Tataki
- 1 pound Tuna Steaks (2 Medium Steaks Or So)
- 2 cups Baby Spinach Or Arugula, Washed
- 1/4 cups Ponzu (or Substitute 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1 Tablespoon White Or Rice Vinegar, And 1 Pinch Sugar For The 1/4 Cup Ponzu)
- Salt To Taste
- Light Oil, For Searing
- Chili Oil, To Taste
- Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat.
- Very lightly season both sides of the tuna with salt to taste. When the pan is hot, drizzle a small amount of light oil into the pan. When oil is hot add the tuna and sear the tuna for 45 seconds on both sides-to just barely cook the edges.
- Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest. You could sear the meat ahead of time, chill it, and assemble closer to meal time, as well.
- Thinly slice the tuna against the grain into 2-inch slices. Layer the tuna around the edges of a shallow platter with a lip, and mound the greens in the center of the tuna.
- Drizzle the entire dish with the ponzu and as much chili oil as you can handle.
- Serve with sushi, as a salad, appetizer, or over rice for a perfect meal.
