1

Prepare the Tuna

Start by finely dicing fresh sushi-grade tuna into small cubes. The size of the cubes will depend on your personal preference, but aim for around 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in size.

2

Season the Tuna

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna with your desired seasonings. You can go for classic flavors like soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice or get creative with ingredients like sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for extra taste.

3

Mix the Ingredients

Gently mix the seasoned tuna cubes with the other ingredients in the bowl until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve the integrity of the tuna cubes and maintain a good texture.

4

Chill in the Fridge

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the tuna tartare chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the tuna to marinate properly. This step also helps to keep the tartare nice and refreshing!

5

Garnish and Serve

When you're ready to serve, garnish your tuna tartare with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives, and add some crunch with diced cucumbers or radishes. Serve it with toasted baguette slices or crispy wonton chips for a delightful crunch. Enjoy immediately and savor the explosion of flavors!
