Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Combine marinade ingredients in bowl and mix well. Remove 2 Tablespoons and reserve for the salad dressing
Put ahi in shallow dish and pour marinade over ahi steaks. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours, turning steaks over once.
Preheat grill or grill pan. Grill ahi steaks over medium-high heat, 2 minutes on each side for rare.
While steaks are grilling, mix rice wine vinegar with reserved (unused) marinade to make the salad dressing. Divide lettuce between four plates and top with chopped scallions. Drizzle with salad dressing.
When steaks have reached your desired doneness, remove and slice on a diagonal. Layer alongside salad and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Tip: My market puts the tuna steaks out in the seafood case, but they also have them individually sealed and frozen in the back. I ask for the frozen steaks so I can have them whenever I want them.
