Answer 2

Super Easy Seared Ahi Tuna
Tired of spending ten dollars or more for a simple Seared Ahi Tuna Appetizer and over thirty dollars for a Seared Ahi Tuna dinner? Well, now you can go to your local fish market, grocery store or even Costco and pick up some Ahi (or Yellowfin) Tuna and do it yourself. So simple, but so elegant!

INGREDIENTS
1 pound sashimi grade yellowfin tuna
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 4 large pieces for appetizer portion, 2 large pieces for dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble a miniature brick.
Season the tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot as you can get it. Place the tuna in the pan, and sear on each side for about 45 seconds for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from pan. The tuna will be very rare.
Slice each 'brick' into 1/4 inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or with the condiments of your choice

Ahi Poke BasicSUBMITTED BY: Josh Chan

"This is a standard raw tuna (poke) salad served in most Hawaiian homes. Although unconventional, it is sure to please the more adventurous seafood lovers. Be sure to use fresh tuna for the very best flavor, although fresh frozen tuna will produce acceptable results."

Answer 4

You can't make good ahi tuna, you have to buy good ahi tuna. It's much easier to go to a good restaurant and order it. Restaurants are able to procure a better quality tuna than you can generally get at a grocery.
