Seared Ahi Tuna

Preparation - 40 minutes Cook time - 3 minutes Serves 3-6

• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Thai chili garlic sauce
• 2 Tablespoons plum sauce
• 1 Tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 Teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons high-quality olive oil
• 2, 12 oz Packages of Ahi Tuna
• 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds

1. To make the marinade, combine soy sauce, Thai chili garlic sauce, plum sauce, cayenne pepper, honey, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar.
2. Place the marinade in a 9x12-inch Pyrex dish. Place the fish in the Pyrex dish, turning once to coat the fish on both sides. Put the dish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
3. In a large skillet, heat up olive oil. When the olive oil is searing hot, add the fish, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. This is a very fast process and only takes about a minute. You do not want to overcook the fish. Once the fish comes clean from the pan, it is time to flip it. Sear the other side quickly, remove it from the pan, and start plating.
4. Cut the tuna into 1/2" pieces and place in a fan along the rim of your desired plate, sprinkling with sesame seeds.
