Step 1

Gather all the ingredients.

Step 2

Grate ginger with a grinder or a garter and set aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, add grated ginger, Sesame Oil, black pepper and salt. Mix well then transfer to a zip lock bag.

Step 4

Pat dry the ahi steak fillets and then transfer to the zip lock bag, remove any excess air and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours, flipping once halfway through.

Step 5

Once marination is complete, mix Wasabi Powder and 1/2 tsp water and to form a paste (add another 1/4 tsp of water if paste is too dry). Once paste is formed, place the small mixing bowl upside down to bring the most out of the flavors. Note – the more you mix the Wasabi Powder, the spicier it will get. If using packet/tube wasabi, skip to next step.

Step 6

In a small Teflon frying pan, combine Swerve/Monkfruit, Japanese Sake, water, Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and simmer for 1 minute. Next, add wasabi from step 5) and Xanthan Gum, mix well until Xanthan Gum has dissolved, remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Finely chop green onions and set aside.

Step 8

Remove ahi steaks from marinade, wash off any excess liquid and pat both sides of the tuna steak dry with a paper towel.

Step 9

In a large Teflon frying pan, add oil on high heat. Once the oil starts to lightly smoke, about 2-3 minutes, reduce heat to medium high, add tuna and cover. Cook for 30-45 seconds (~60 seconds if you prefer well medium-well) then flip and cook the other side for 30-45 seconds. Note - make sure you don't overcook the steaks, otherwise, it's going to be extremely tough and rubbery.

Step 10

Transfer seared ahi steak to a serving plate, brush glaze sauce on top and finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
