Instructions
-
11. Citrus Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce with the orange and lemon juice. Add black pepper and ginger if a deeper flavor is desired. Submerge the tuna and let it marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
-
22. Pineapple Preparation: In a small skillet, sauté the pineapple chunks with a splash of the same marinade until they reduce and become glossy.
-
33. Professional Searing: In a very hot pan with a drizzle of oil, sear the tuna quickly (1-2 minutes per side). The goal is a golden exterior and a juicy, pink center.
-
44. Plating: Place a bed of alfalfa sprouts on the decorated plate. Position the tuna steak on top and crown it with the citrus pineapple pieces.
-
55. Finalization: Serve with the molded red rice on the side for a clean and professional finish.
