Seared Tuna with Spicy Mayo
 
Makes about 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh Gulf tuna
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
Instructions
  1. Remove any skin from the tuna and then coat all sides in a blend of soy sauce and sesame oil.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together brown sugar, both types of sesame seeds, garlic, and kosher salt. Press the tuna down into the spice and seed mixture to coat it; repeat on each side of the tuna until it is entirely covered.
  3. In a well-ventilated kitchen or outside, bring a frying pan to high heat and then add the cooking oil. When very hot, place the tuna down and sear for approximately 1 to 2 minutes and then flip it. Repeat on all sides until each surface is seared. Remove the tuna from the heat and allow it to rest.
  4. Add mayonnaise, pepper sauce, and garlic salt to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  5. Slice tuna and plate. Garnish with green onions and serve with spicy mayonnaise.
