Perfect as an appetizer or main course, this Southern Bluefin Tuna tataki recipe will satisfy your cravings with a delicious balance of sweet and umami flavours.
1 Remove any blood meat (called the blood line) within the tuna. The blood line is the very dark red (almost black) meat that you will see on the edge of the tuna.
2 Using a very sharp knife, cut any dark meat away from the rest of the tuna and discard.
3 Mix soy sauce, mirin, honey and sesame oil in a bowl, then add tuna fillets and ensure they are evenly covered with the mixture.
4 Spread sesame seeds on a plate.
5 Remove fillets from mixture and press onto sesame seeds to cover.
6 Heat a well-oiled cast iron skillet until very hot, then place tuna in the pan and fry for 30 seconds on each side.
7 Slice into 2cm pieces as long as the fillets allow.
8 Sprinkle with chives (optional) and serve with Kewpie mayo dipping sauce.
