Pan-Seared Blackened Ahi Tuna

1. Throw all of it together in a glass bowl and stir. Vigorously if you like, languidly if you don’t.
2. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
3. Stir again to try and dissolve the sugar.
4. Put two Ahi Tuna steaks (like 200-300g each?) on a plate.
5. Drizzle the marinade/sauce “stuff” over it.
6. Turn (the fish, not you!), and drizzle more ‘stuff’ on the other side.
7. Let it sit for 15 minutes-ish: I really don’t think how long it stands makes much difference.
8. Heat a non-stick pan to very hot, and add 5 – 10 ml of olive oil.
9. “They,” say make the oil smoking hot: never seen that but I did not have it smoking and it should have been warmer.
10. Maybe next time I will try and wait until it starts to smoke. But not catch fire.
11. Put steaks in the pan.
12. Turn after 1 – 1½ minutes (again the fish, not you).
13. Remove after 1 – 1½ more minutes. Eat. Enjoy.

Side Note:

1. I served the Ahi Tuna on top of Arugula salad leaves, with baby tomatoes and mini cucumber slices, drizzled with some sesame ginger salad dressing.

Notes from the Husband Cook

1. Next time I would put in a bit less sugar and more pepper.
2. I am OBVIOUSLY not good at recipes.
3. Will do it again sometime and make a note of the quantities.

PS:  The above has been written by my hubby, tried and tested by ‘hubby’ and concocted by ‘hubby’.

Well, all I can say – Bravo to hubby, I love it and then immediately asked him to write it down so I can share his recipe and this lovely meal with you all.

I truly hope you will try this, and please, leave a comment and let me know what you think of it!

Note:  Hubby concocted this recipe from memory and taste and typed it out in order for me to share it with you, so the above is in his own words.
