Do you have any Tuna stake salad recipe？
On this page, I am introducing a recipe of Tuna stake salad with Asian onion sauce.
This recipe is especially for those who enjoy salad as a main meal. As it is pretty photogenic, it can be recommended to serve for some guests at a party too. As the recipe uses soy sauce and onion as ingredients for the sauce, it has strong Asian taste.
The recipe does not use Mirin as ingredient, it is very low-carb. The sesame oil is also adding some very good fat on the meal to make it more ketogenic.
The tuna can be fresh one or frozen one. This time, I used frozen one and thawed in a fridge for couple of hours before use.

Seared tuna recipe(salad)｜When fish is seared a little, it brings out more flavor
Some research found that Umami (flavor of food) can be brought out more when fish is little bit seared. According to the theory, since the heat evaporates the water on the surface of fish, the flavor gets concentrated.
Actually, you may find some Sushi chefs often burn only some part of fish by a burner nowadays. The reason that they burn them is to bring out the flavor out of the fish meat.
Raw fish is good, yet, if you sear fish a little bit, you may find the flavor can be even stronger and better. Especially, fish which contains a lot of fat may have stronger flavor when they are seared a little. It gets more juicy outside.
With this recipe, you sear tuna only short time with high heat. If you have grill or burner, they work for this recipe as well.
Enjoy the savory, burned flavor with your tuna.

As a sugar alternative, I am using this one, the Whole earth. It is made of stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. Even though you need only half the amount of sugar, the taste is exactly like sugar and has almost zero calorie. Because you need only half the amount of normal sugar, you can save your space in your kitchen as well.
