Using a dry clean towel, pat dry your tuna steaks. Lightly drizzle each steak with olive oil and crust with coarsely ground black pepper and salt on each side. Add 2 oz. of olive oil to high heat in a sauté pan, just until the oil begins to smoke. Working in batches, sear the tuna steaks approximately 1–1 ½ minutes on each side until a sweet crust forms. Remove the steaks from the heat and set aside to rest. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and then add your garlic, ginger, fish stock, and chopped bok choy. Sauté the bok choy over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. Mound your cooked bok choy on the center of a plate and place the crusted Ahi tuna on top. Place 2 oz. of fresh mango salsa on top of your tuna then drizzle with warm citrus-ginger soy sauce.
