Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds tuna steak
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 red onions peeled and diced
  • 2 scallions white and half of the green part (about 6 inches), sliced
  • 2 ripe Hass avocados peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons wasabi powder wasabi sauce, or wasabi paste
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 10 dashes ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried coriander or 1 tablespoon fresh minced cilantro

Instructions

  • Salad:
  • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  • Wash tuna, pat dry, and rub with salt and pepper. Sauté 2 minutes on each side, until seared. Set aside. Tuna should be cooked outside and still raw inside. 
  • Meanwhile, place onions, scallions, and avocado in a medium- to large-sized salad bowl. Cut tuna into 1-inch chunks and add to bowl. Drizzle dressing on top and serve.
  • Dressing:
  • In a small saucepan, combine dressing ingredients, and warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
