Ingredients
- 225 grams sushi-grade tuna
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 pieces scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform cubes (about 1 cm in size). Place the tuna in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Dice the avocado into small cubes, approximately the same size as the tuna.
Step 3
Peel and seed the cucumber, then dice it into small cubes. Add the cucumber to the mixing bowl with the tuna.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, lime juice, and grated ginger.
Step 5
Pour the prepared dressing over the tuna, avocado, and cucumber. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
Step 6
Fold in the thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Step 7
Divide the tuna tartar mixture evenly into two portions. For an elegant presentation, use a round mold to shape the tartar on serving plates. Optionally, garnish with additional sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, keto-friendly tuna tartar!
