Ingredients

Tuna

12 oz Yellowfin Tuna Steak Fillets sashimi grade
1 Green Onions
1/2 tsp Toasted Sesame Seed optional

Sauce

1/2 Inch Ginger grated
3 tbsp Ponzu
1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1/8 tsp Togarashi substitute with cayenne pepper, but use 1/8 tsp instead
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Finely chop green onions and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, add grated ginger, ponzu, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, togarashi and lemon juice. Mix together and set aside.
Pat both sides of the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Preheat grill to 400F. Once the grill is preheated, place tuna steaks on the grill and cover. Grill for 20-40 seconds per side just to sear the outside. Inside should have raw texture. Note - make sure you don't overcook the steaks, otherwise it's going to be extreme tough and rubbery.
Transfer grilled steak and let it rest until room temperature (about 1-2 minutes). Once cooled, pour sauce to liking, followed by chopped green onions and toasted sesame seed.
