Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat with Sesame Seeds

    Place sesame seeds on a plate. Press the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, coating both sides evenly.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Sear the Tuna

    Add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the tuna is rare in the center.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna against the grain, and serve topped with seaweed salad.
