I took a little break because I was in a cooking funk! When the seasons change I have to adjust my cooking a bit and sometimes can take awhile to transition. =)
Tonight I made Seared Ahi (that I slightly overcooked) for dinner.
The seared Ahi is something new I tried, raw ANYTHING scares me. It took me forever to make steak correctly but I finally got it. So now with Ahi steak you want to cook it no more than medium/rare.
I took the ahi steak, seasoned them with salt and pepper.
I heated up about 2 tsp olive oil in a pan, and added the ahi.
I let it cook about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on how thick the steak is) on each side.
You can see the color change from the bottom to the middle of the steak.
I think it's about 1/4 a way on each side you want to see the meat cooked.
After that I shredded some fresh ginger (about 1 tsp, for 2 smaller steaks) in the pan, then added a little less than 2 to 3 tsp of lemon juice and a few splashes of soy sauce. Flip the steak over and get lots of flavor on it.
I served this over white rice (with lots of sarachi sauce, I looove spicy!), and steamed green beans with a tsp of sugar and a little soy sauce.
This was really good! And went great with my all time favorite wine!
