SEARED AHI TUNA TACOS & CABBAGE-CARROT SLAW

Steps:

• Mix together all sauce/marinade ingredients and stir together until fully combined.
• Pour half of the sauce into a ziplock bag or air-tight container. Place the tuna steaks inside. Marinate in the fridge for at least 20-minutes and up to overnight. Leave the other half of the sauce for pouring over the completed tacos.
• While the ahi tuna marinates, put together the slaw. Add all cabbage-carrot slaw ingredients into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and leave to the side or in the fridge up to overnight.
• When ready to prepare the tacos, heat the cast iron or pan on the stove with the oil. Let the pan get hot (about 2-4 minutes).
• Take the tuna steaks directly from marinating onto the scorching hot pan, large flat side down. (Make sure to have a vent fan on, it helps!)
• Let tuna steaks sear for 1-minute on the original side. Using tongs, flip to the second side and let cook an additional 1-minute. Turn off heat.
• Remove seared ahi tuna steaks from the cast iron pan, and place onto a cutting board. Allow to sit for 5-minutes.
• While tuna steaks rest, heat the corn tortillas in a large pan on the stove at medium-heat. Let warm for 1-minute each side and then stack on a plate lined with paper towels or regular towel.
• Slice the tuna steaks in ½ inch thick slices.
