INGREDIENTS:
FOR VINAIGRETTE: 4 big handfuls fresh cilantro, finely chopped 1 jalapeno, sliced 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, grated juice of 4 limes 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil FOR TUNA: 4 (6-oz) blocks sushi-quality tuna
4 ripe avocados, halved, peeled, pitted, and sliced



1 MAKE VINAIGRETTE: Whisk together all the ingredients with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste until combine well.
2 MAKE TUNA: Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill, or heat a grill pan over moderately high heat until hot. Season tuna generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lay the tuna on the hot grill and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Drizzle the fish with a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Transfer fish to plates and serve with sliced avocado. Drizzle with some of the remaining vinaigrette and serve the rest on the side.
