Sesame Coated Seared Ahi

Beer.  A universal currency.  Hell yeah.

Unless I'm fishing off key west. There you find Cubans fishing for lobster in international waters. They don't want beer. They want coke classic.

You can buy coke in cuba. They bring it in from the other islands. Not sure if Canada sells it to them

Looks great CT.  How much tuna did you buy?  I'd like to do some for the wife and little one.

@travis nice haul. I want to go deep fishing again.
Great looking plate cen-tex. Gonna save those sauces.

That was a 1.5lb filet. We fed 4 essentially adults (my boys are 13 and 17 and love Tuna) and had .25lb or so leftover. I would say .5 lb is plenty depending on how little your little one is.

Thanks. the sauces are great. I totally ripped them from Scott so I am just the messenger

Bump.  Made this last night after @The Cen-Tex Smoker pointed me to this ancient text.

Damn good.  The ponzu is fantastic.  Lost most of the sesame seeds to the grill, but who cares.

maybe this weekend, saw some fresh bluefin sunday at the local.  i like to slightly ceviche tuna before the sear and i think it will work with this recipe. always a judgement call when at the fish monger so we will see

You have my attention.  How far do you let it cook as ceviche - 1/8”? 1/4” ?

about an hour and its just over 1/8.  1/4 cup each lime juice and fish sauce,2.5 tbls sugar, 2 tsp rice wine vinegar, garlic, cilantro and some soy. save half and add some habanero and lime leaves for a dipping sauce.  i think these two recipes will mix nicely

bump because this one deserves it.

I made this again last night.  so good.  WF had yellowfin on sale, got some beautiful looking steaks for $20/lb with prime discount on top of sale.

What’s the best place for online orders?  Cost is no object, I want to party like I have SGH’s tractor or diesel money!

This is a favorite of mine to order at restaurants.  So glad you posted this so I can steal the recipe.  This looks tremendous.  It's great to see these non-4 legged cooks.  Well done.

Eat a lot of Ahi, that is the best looking I have ever seen.

Adopt me.

We have officially made the full time move to Fredericksburg so next time you are down, I'll adopt you for the afternoon. We live right in the middle of all the wineries.
