The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 oz tuna (fresh (sushi grade) )
  • 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp steak seasoning (or salt and pepper to taste)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz lo mein
  • 1 tsp spicy garlic chili paste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 spring onions (chopped for garnish - optional)

Instruction

  • Cook wide lo-mein noodles (or wide rice pad Thai noodles- if want gluten-free) according to the directions, rinse with cool water and set aside.
  • In the meantime while your noodles are cooking, wash and dry sushi grade tuna.
  • Coat tuna thoroughly on all sides with black sesame seeds and sprinkle with steak seasoning.
  • Place olive oil in frying pan/ iron skillet, turn burner on medium high heat and put in tuna fillet into skillet. Pan-sear ahi tuna steaks on both sides for about 1 minute just until you see the side of the steak turn slightly brown about 1/8 inch and then flip over on the other side and sear for another minute until you can see that the steak it is brown 1/8 inch. Remove ahi tuna steaks from pan to rest.
  • Add olive oil to your pan and over medium heat add your spicy garlic chili paste and cook for 1 minute and then add your cooked noodles and toss until well incorporated about 1 more minute longer. Remove noodles from the heat, add the lime juice and toss. (If you like to balance the savory, sour and spicy, then add a teaspoon of coconut sugar or sugar to your noodle dish while it is on the heat.)
  • With a sharp knife, slice your pan-seared ahi tuna steaks thinly.
  • On a plate, place 1/2 prepared spicy garlic chili lime noodles on a plate. Place 3-4 slices of pan-seared sesame ahi tuna on top of the tossed noodles. Garnish with sliced spring onions and enjoy.
