ingredients

  • 3 large carrots, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 10 ounces shredded red cabbage, green cabbage or Brussels sprouts
  • 1 cup edamame, shelled
  • 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
  • 1 ahi tuna steak
  • Salt and pepper, as needed
  • Black sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon avocado oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 1-2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine the carrots, celery, cabbage, edamame and green onion in a bowl.

  • Step 2

    Pat tuna steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cover with sesame seeds. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tuna steak and sear top and bottom for 2 minutes each side, just until they start to turn color.
