Magnificent! This dish is gorgeous and turns raw or seared tuna into an
experience. The vibrant noodle salad is both chewy and crunchy, and all
the elements make this fun to plate and fun to eat. I like my tuna on the
rarer side, but feel free to cook it a bit longer (just not too much!) if you prefer.

Make ahead: The noodle slaw is best when prepared a day ahead. You can
coat your tuna earlier in the day, sear it, and slice it a little while before serving. Save the avocados for last; slice them right before serving.

Directions

Prepare the Noodle Slaw

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Immediately after draining, toss with four tablespoons oil to prevent sticking.

  2. In a bowl, toss noodles with cabbage, beets, parsley,

    and scallions.

  3. Add remaining two tablespoons oil, sugar, soy sauce,

    vinegar, and salt. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Prepare the Tuna

  1. Slice the triangle off the side of the fillet so you have straight edges on all sides (if your fillet is wide, you will be able to have two strips).

  2. In a small bowl, combine sesame seeds, Montreal

    Steak Seasoning, garlic powder, and sugar.

  3. Coat tuna in oil and then in the sesame seed mixture. (You may need to make more of the sesame coating, depending on the size of your fillet.)

  4. In a frying pan, heat additional oil. Once the pan is

    very hot, add tuna and sear for a few seconds on each side, until just the edge of the tuna is brown but the inside is still red. Remove from the pan and slice thinly.

To Serve

  1. Add some noodle slaw to the bottom of each bowl. Top with slices of avocado and tuna. Garnish with pea shoots, sesame seeds, and scallions, if desired.
