Seared Tuna Tataki - with Sesame Seeds & Ponzu Sauce

This seared ahi tuna tataki borrows inspiration from Nobu’s yellowtail sashimi with the addition of thinly sliced Serrano chilies for a little heat and color. The daikon radish adds another flavor element and texture to provide contrast, which is important for dishes. And this dish would not be complete without a flavorful ponzu sauce that is easily made at home (look for that video soon!). One of the secrets that I do is to reduce the ponzu sauce on the stove by about a third to make it a tad thicker and with a more robust flavor.
Have fun making this, you’ll find that it will wow your family and friends!
Recipe below:
For the Marinade:
1/2 cup ponzu sauce
1 Tbsp wasabi paste
1 Tbsp sesame seed oil
1 Tbsp sake
4-6 oz ahi tuna, sushi grade
2 Tbsp black sesame seeds
2 tbsp white sesame seeds
To Garnish:
1 Serrano chili, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Daikon radish, spiralized

Thank you for the ideas and extra inspiration. I am a chef on a sporstfishing boat and I was looking to see what else to do with tuna. This is quick and looks very tasty, again thank you Chef!

How do you make the ponzu sauce?

[@1Yh8HH]

Bonne appéti.. the t at the end is silent

[@tanialopez3576]

Is ponzu sauce sweet?

[@ChefonaBoat]

No, more like a soy sauce with hints of citrus

[@kevinvientianelaos]

Instead of Sake I put Soju would be sweeter and tastier I guess .. my preference …..
