Ahi Tuna??!
Answers: Once gain, I have two great pieces of Ahi Tuna. I usually pan sear and it is to die for. Cheifs? Give me another way to take Tuna to a new level.
Marinate it in soy sauce and ginger before you pan sear.
Serve it with mashed potatoes you've added a couple teaspoons of wasabi too.
Then sautee some fresh green beans and coat with a sweet teryaki sauce. Top the whole thing with roasted seasame seeds.
Raw - prepared like sashimi with some wasabi. YUM!
