Ingredients

  • 2 6 oz each tuna steaks
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 2 tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp black pepper and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Spiralize the 2 zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Set aside on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the tuna steaks and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned outside but still rare inside. Remove and rest.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to make the drizzle.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet over medium heat, add the zucchini noodles and toss for 1-2 minutes until just warmed but still crisp. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Slice the 1 avocado. Divide the zucchini noodles between plates, top with sliced tuna, avocado slices, and drizzle with the soy sauce mixture.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, finishing with extra black pepper if desired.
