Tuna Ceviche


Ingredients

  • 1 pound tuna steaks, skin removed
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup dried chamomile
  • 1/4 cup mexican oregano
  • leche de tigre

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the tuna with the salt and dried herb mixture, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Make the leche de tigre.
  3. Rinse the tuna and pat dry with paper towels. Angle your knife at 45 degrees and make thin 1/4" thick cuts against the grain. Place the slices in a bowl and add the leche de tigre, turning gently to coat.
  4. Remove the tuna from the liquid and divide among individual serving bowls. Spoon enough liquid into each bowl to just cover the bottom. Garnish with avocado, grapefruit, cucumber, radishes, and jalapeño.
