Ruth's Chris Ahi Tuna Recipe

Dive into the fusion of flavors that this dish offers with savory soy sauce, nutty sesame oil, and fresh ginger.
It’s all about searing the tuna just right—only a minute or two per side to keep that center rare and delicious!
I love how simple ingredients mingle to deliver a surprisingly complex flavor that always impresses.
A handy tip: use a scorching hot pan to get that perfect crust without overcooking the inside.
