Begin by selecting a fresh, sushi-grade tuna steak. Make sure it has been properly handled and stored to ensure safe consumption raw.
Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin, bite-sized pieces or sashimi-style strips. Arrange them neatly on a chilled plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a keto-friendly version), sea salt, and black pepper to create a simple vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the sliced tuna to coat the fish lightly but not overwhelm its delicate flavor.
Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Arrange them around the tuna on the plate for a mix of textures and colors.
For an optional spicy kick, finely slice half of a red chili and sprinkle it lightly over the dish.
Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately to preserve the chilled and fresh qualities of the dish. Pair with sparkling water or a dry white wine for a complete experience.
