One of my favorite meals is Rare Ahi Tuna. I crave this dish from my favorite restaurant but it’s so expensive. It’s served with an Asian slaw and wasabi mash potatoes which really add to the flavor. I recently ran across a hand written recipe for a Tuna Marinate and I decided to give it a try. In addition, I’ve been perfecting the sides as well.
Here is the marinate recipe for The Best Seared Rare Ahi Tuna
Marinate for 1-2 hours prior to searing.
Oops I forgot to drizzle with balsamic glaze. But it still makes a pretty plate.
