Seared Ahi Tuna

Hi friends!  I made the easiest dinner tonight. 

I don’t know that you can even call this a recipe, it was that easy.  I have always loved Ahi Tuna when I eat out, but I have never made it at home.  After some searching today, I found this recipe and decided to try it with just a tiny bit of tweaking.

Ingredients:

• Ahi Tuna Steaks (Sushi grade—make sure they are pink/red)
• breadcrumbs (Panko or regular OR both mixed together—which is what I did, with your choice of seasonings added—I mixed in some oregano and dried parsley)
• olive oil – 2 Tbsp
• salt and pepper to taste

Prep:

Heat oil in a skillet until hot.  Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture.  Place in hot skillet.  Cook 1-2 minutes on each side, or until desired degree of doneness.  I like mine a little more medium or medium rare.  I cooked Ryan’s and Sadie’s a little longer. 

This tuna was so delicious and tasty!  If you’re scared of preparing fish, give this a try!  The original recipe also had good reviews, so I think it’s pretty fool-proof. 

(I still need to perfect slicing it neatly!)

We paired the tuna with tri-colored quinoa and sugar snap peas.  A perfectly tasty (yet easy!) Sunday night meal. 

Hope you all are adjusting to the time change!  My body still thinks it is 8:30, even though it’s almost 9:30 right now… should make for an interesting morning!  ;)
