Nutritional Role & Bio-benefit

Searing tuna rare preserves the heat-sensitive omega-3 fatty acids and selenium. This high-protein, low-carb meal is ideal for athletes in a caloric deficit who need maximum protein density without excess glycemic load.

How To Prepare

  1. 1Pat a 200g sushi-grade tuna steak dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds.
  2. 2Heat a cast iron skillet until smoking hot with 1 tbsp avocado oil.
  3. 3Sear tuna for 60-90 seconds per side — the center should remain raw/rare.
  4. 4Slice tuna against the grain and fan over a bed of mixed greens, sliced avocado, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
  5. 5Dress with a soy-ginger vinaigrette (soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame oil).
