Description

This Ruth’s Chris Ahi Tuna recipe delivers everything you love about the restaurant classic—fresh, sushi-grade tuna quickly seared with a sesame seed crust, then drizzled with a rich balsamic glaze and served over crisp greens. It’s elegant, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make at home in under 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

2 Sushi-grade Ahi Tuna Steaks (about 6 oz each)

3 tablespoons White Sesame Seeds

2 tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds

3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (grated)

1 clove Garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Sesame Oil

1 teaspoon Wasabi Paste (optional)

2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze

1 cup Mixed Greens or Microgreens

1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for searing)


Instructions

1. Pat tuna steaks dry and lightly season with salt.

2. In a shallow dish, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Marinate tuna for 10–15 minutes.

3. Combine sesame seeds on a plate. Press tuna into seeds to coat all sides.

4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Sear each side of the tuna for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

6. Let rest briefly, then slice into 1/2-inch pieces.

7. Arrange over mixed greens and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

8. Serve with wasabi paste if desired.
