Instructions
Roughly chop carrots, celery, green onion & shredded red cabbage into even-sized pieces and mix together in a bowl with the edamame
Make dressing by whisking together: peanut butter, white miso, rice vinegar & avocado oil
Stir the peanut-miso dressing into the chopped salad until coated. Let soak for about 10 minutes while the tuna steaks are prepared
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt & pepper
Dip the ahi tuna steaks in a bowl or plate with the sesame seeds to coat the tuna on all sides
Heat avocado oil on medium. Add the tuna steaks, searing the top and bottom for 1-2 minutes each, depending on how rare you like the tuna steaks.
Using tongs, sear the sides just until a crust is formed, about 30 seconds per side
Remove ahi tuna steaks and cut on the diagonal in 1/2 inch-thick slices
Serve the ahi tuna steaks over the dressed crunchy chopped salad
