  • 1.5 TB McCormick white sesame seeds
  • 1.5 TB McCormick black sesame seeds
  • 1 TSP McCormick coarse grind black pepper 
  • 1 TSP McCormick granulated garlic 
  • 1 TSP sugar In The Raw  
  • 6 oz Mixed Greens
  • 2 oz shredded carrots
  • 2 oz Dole Chef-Ready Diced Mango 
  • 2 oz Dole Chef-Ready Diced Avocado

  • 2 oz Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Orange Sauce 
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice 
  • 1 oz Kikkoman® Rice Rinegar 
  • 1 TB chopped Cilantro

Directions

Method:

  • Combine orange juice, ponzu and tamari – marinate Ahi steak in a shallow container. Marinate under refrigeration at least 1 hour, turning over halfway through.
  • Combine sesame seeds, sugar and spices, set aside.
  • Remove Tuna from the marinade, wipe off excess. On a sheet tray, spread out sesame crust.
  • Coat a large sauté pan with oil and bring to high heat. Add Tuna to pan and cook 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and immediately roll Tuna in sesame mixture. Allow to cool and slice in ½” slices. Reserve.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, carrots, and half of the mango, avocado and red onion. Toss with prepared orange ponzu dressing, reserving 1 TB of dressing.
  • Plate salad off-set on a large plate, carefully retaining some height. Garnish salad with remaining ingredients.
  • Fan out Tuna against salad, finish by drizzling the remaining dressing around the plate and sprinkling with sesame seeds. Nestle pickled ginger against Tuna if using.
