Instructions
Create your own poke bowl using peppered seared tuna and serve over a delicious bed of fluffy white rice!
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Spread black pepper on a small plate. Dry tuna with paper towels and press tuna into black pepper to coat. Repeat on other side of tuna. Discard any leftover pepper. Season tuna with salt. Heat vegetable oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Place tuna in skillet and allow to sear undisturbed for 1 minute. Using tongs, flip tuna over and sear other side for 1 minute. Remove tuna from skillet and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 3
In same skillet, reduce heat to low and heat sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger and sauté 1 minute. Add rice, peas, carrots, red bell peppers, and green onions, reserving 2 tablespoons of green onions. Cook and stir until well blended and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Slice tuna. Arrange rice on a platter or individual bowls and top with tuna. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with poke sauce, if desired. Garnish with reserved green onions.
Recipe Tip
Substitute poke sauce with a spicy mayo. Mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon Sriracha. Instead of black pepper use black sesame seeds to coat tuna.
