INGREDIENTS
2 handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, sliced
1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 limes, juiced
2 TBSP soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tuna steaks
1 ripe avocado, halved, peeled, pitted and sliced
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and 2 TBSP of olive oil.
Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 TBSP of olive oil.
Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper.
Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust.
Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish.
Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.
