Albacore Tuna Carpaccio with Garlic Chips



1/2 pound Albacore Tuna
3 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 tablespoons Ponzu Sauce
Sriracha, to taste
3 tablespoons Scallions, sliced
Few Leaves Cilantro
Salt, Pepper, to taste

Preheat a skillet to medium heat, add olive oil.  Saute garlic slices until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.  
Remove and reserve. 

Pet dry tuna with a paper towel.  Season with salt and pepper.  

Turn the heat up to medium-high.  Using the same skillet, saute tuna on each side, 2 minutes per side.
Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the tuna.

 On a serving platter, pour Ponzu and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  Place thinly sliced tuna right over the sauce.
 Drizzle  Sriracha over the tuna, as much as you like.  Top with garlic chips, scallions, and leaves of cilantro.

Serves 2-3

*Very important not to burn the garlic.  It turns bitter if you do.

*This dish is delicious and elegant.  Will wow your guests.
