1/2 Lb. 1-inch thick block of Big Eye tuna
Salt
Black pepper
2 Tbs. Vegetable Oil
Radish Sprouts, roots chopped off and remainder stem cut in half
3 garlic cloves, thickly cut
1 Scallions, minced
Ponzu Sauce
Mince scallions, soak in water for 10 minutes then drain and squeeze out moisture
Make garlic chips by adding to sauté pan which is tilted to minimize the volume of oil needed. Then just cover the garlic slices and cook over low heat
Fry the slices until they become golden brown. Patiently turn them over from time to time. They will get brown. Then take them off, drain on paper towel and sprinkle salt
Reserve the oil for searing the block of tuna
Prepare the radish sprouts
Remove tuna from the refrigerator and season with salt and pepper
Heat up reserved oil with medium heat.
When pan is extremely hot add the block and press down for 10 seconds. Then flip over and repeat. Finally do the same for the sides (you do not have to sear the ends)
Now slice the tuna against the grain into 1/ inch slices and arrange on a plate
Drizzle Ponzu sauce around slices
Squeeze creamy mayonnaise across the slices. Much nicer if you do this with a squeeze tube
Spread scallions then the garlic chips and finally the radish sprouts
