Description
Buffalo Tataki is a flavorful dish featuring fresh tuna steak, marinated and seared to perfection, served with fresh vegetables and a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh tuna steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Slice the tuna steak into 1-inch thick pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and honey until well combined.
- Place the tuna slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- After marinating, remove the tuna from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for about 30 seconds on each side, just enough to create a crust while keeping the center rare.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the seared tuna into thin strips.
- Arrange the slices on a serving platter and garnish with cucumber, carrots, green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more sriracha or serve with a spicy mayo.
- You can also substitute the tuna with salmon for a different flavor profile.
