Ahhh Ahi! Ahi Tuna Lettuce Wrap

Ahi Tuna Lettuce Wrap

1/4 soy sauce

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup chopped cilantro - divided in half

1 stalk lemongrass, peeled and chopped

1-2 inch of freshly grated ginger

3 cloves mince garlic

3 green onions, chopped -divided in half

1 pound fresh Ahi tuna

1/2 chopped cucumber, with skin

1/2 cup pineapple chunks

1 1/2 avocado, peeled, seeded and chopped

1/2 lime

1/4 cup sesame seeds

4 butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried (or Romaine if you can't find butter)

To make the marinade: Mix soy sauce, olive oil 1/2 of the cilantro, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, 1/2 of the green onions. Place tuna in a baking dish - if tuna is extra think you may want to slice it into two, thinner pieces.  Pour marinade over tuna and marinade at least an hour, flipping steak occasionally. 

Sear steak on a hot grill or in a hot pan on the stove, for a minute or less, each side, depending on the thickness.

After searing the tuna, chop it in to 1/2 inch cubes. Mix with the cucumber, pineapple and avocado chunks and the remaining cilantro and onion.  Squeeze lime over mixture and stir in sesame seeds.

Lay one piece of lettuce on a plate and spoon 1/4 of the mixture into center, wrap it up and serve.
