Pawpa Bear's Pineapple Hollapeno Seared Ahi Tuna

Sweet tropical pineapple. Zesty jalapeño. Perfectly seared ahi tuna. Now that's a catch!

Bring restaurant-quality flavor to your kitchen with this quick and delicious Pineapple Hollapeno Seared Ahi Tuna. The combination of tropical pineapple, jalapeño heat and savory spices creates a flavorful crust that complements the rich, delicate taste of fresh ahi tuna.

Ingredients

• 2 ahi tuna steaks, approximately 6–8 ounces each

• 1–2 teaspoons Pawpa Flavor Pineapple Hollapeno Seasoning

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or another high-heat cooking oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

• 1 teaspoon honey, optional

• Fresh pineapple salsa, optional

• Sliced green onions or fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

1. Pat the ahi tuna steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels.

2. Lightly coat both sides with oil and season evenly with Pineapple Hollapeno.

3. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

4. Add the tuna steaks and sear approximately 1–2 minutes per side for a rare center, depending on thickness. For fully cooked tuna, continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

5. Remove the tuna from the skillet and allow it to rest briefly.

6. For an optional sweet-and-tangy finish, mix the lime juice and honey together.

7. Slice the tuna against the grain and drizzle lightly with the lime-honey mixture.

8. Garnish with fresh pineapple salsa, green onions or cilantro.

Pawpa Bear's Tip: Pineapple Hollapeno contains natural sugars, so a quick sear over high heat helps develop a flavorful crust without burning the seasoning. For an incredible tropical combination, serve the tuna over coconut rice with fresh pineapple salsa and a squeeze of lime.

Food safety note: FDA guidance recommends cooking finfish to 145°F. Rare or partially cooked tuna carries additional food safety risks; use appropriately handled tuna intended for raw preparation if choosing that style.
