Tuna Avacado Surprise (the best ahi recipe!)

I found this recipe while surfing the net and, if you're looking for a great way to prepare tuna, look no farther.
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped
  • 4 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons of lime
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tuna steaks (don't cheap-out on the quality)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 ripe Avocados -- halved and sliced.
1 Combine the cilantro, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

2 Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the tuna with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for a minute on each side. Pour half of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish.

3 Transfer the seared tuna to plates and serve with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

Enjoy!
