Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mayo
  • 3/4 Tbsp Yuzu juice
  • 3/4 Tbsp Yuzu kosho
  • 1 Japanese sweet potato
  • 2 Tbsp Ghee or avocado oil
  • 1 Tuna steak
  • 2 Tbsp Yuzu Furikake

Instructions

  • Mix mayo, yuzu juice, and yuzu kosho in a bowl to combine. Transfer to a squeeze bottle until ready to serve.
  • Peel and thinly slice the Japanese sweet potato, about ¼ inch thick.
  • In a stainless steel or cast iron pan, heat the ghee or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke or ripples. Place the Japanese sweet potato slices in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side being careful not to burn. Remove, sprinkle with salt, and set aside.
  • Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Coat tuna in yuzu furikake, coating evenly.
  • In a stainless steel or cast iron pan, heat the ghee or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke or ripples. Place the tuna in the pan and cook for about a minute. The white sesame seeds start to turn golden brown.
  • Carefully turn the tuna over and cook for about another minute, checking after 45 seconds. Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Arrange potato crisps in a single layer and place a piece of tuna on each potato crisps. Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle yuzu mayo over each tuna topped potato crisp. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley, cilantro, or micro green. Serve immediately.
