Grabbed a couple watermelon colored Ahi steaks yesterday…..they were today’s lunch……

I marinated them for a couple of hours in chili sauce and sweet soy….. then crusted them with some seasoned (onion, garlic, pepper) seeds…..

60 seconds per side in a HOT hexclad with beef tallow….it happened so fast no cook pics

Resting ready to slice…..

Sweet looked tasty for sure. As an FYI learned this from watching Chef Madaharu Morimoto Sushi Master….he just hammered the chefs that didn’t season the fish….they usually got sent packing…. If you like it cold in the middle (like me) then get the pan hot before you put the oil in….when HOT put a bit of oil, ie just enough for the filet area then the filet….that will keep the oil from burning and keep just under the filet…..once you see about 3/32” of a white edge flip and watch for the same 3/32 whit edge…..by the way I would have gobbled that down….that has some nice inside color!

Dang!!

Thanks kc!!
