Ingredients

• 250 grams fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 1 small cucumber
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) red onion
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by dicing the fresh sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform cubes (approximately 0.5 cm) to ensure even texture and presentation. Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl and set aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

Step 2

Peel and pit the avocado, then dice it into cubes similar in size to the tuna. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the small cucumber, removing any excess seeds to avoid additional moisture in the tartare.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped red onion to the diced tuna in the mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and wasabi paste until the wasabi is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tuna and onion, and gently toss to combine, ensuring the tuna is evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 7

Add the diced avocado, cucumber, and chopped fresh cilantro to the mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently fold the ingredients together, taking care not to mash the avocado.

Step 8

Allow the tartare to sit in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to meld the flavors, keeping it chilled until ready to serve.

Step 9

Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the tuna tartare in chilled small bowls or on a plate, garnishing with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
