Ingredients

  • 1 lb Wild Albacore Tuna, steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp mirin or rice wine
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon or lime zest
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups seasonal vegetables (e.g., asparagus, snap peas, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Microgreens or edible flowers for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the tuna steaks with salt, pepper, grated ginger, garlic, and a light drizzle of sesame oil.
  2. Vacuum-seal the tuna steaks or place them in a zip-top bag using the water displacement method.
  3. Preheat a sous-vide water bath to 46–50°C (115–122°F) for rare to medium-rare. Cook the tuna for 30–45 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, and lemon or lime zest. Simmer over low heat until slightly reduced to create a glaze.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with butter. Quickly sear the tuna for 30–60 seconds per side to create a golden crust. Remove and let rest.
  6. Sauté seasonal vegetables in the same skillet for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt and a touch of butter or oil.
  7. Plate the vegetables and place the seared tuna on top. Drizzle with the soy-citrus reduction, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with microgreens or edible flowers.
