1
Prepare the Tuna
Season the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare doneness.
3
Make the Tahini Sauce
In a small bowl, mix tahini with soy sauce until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little water if needed.
4
Plate the Dish
Slice the seared tuna and arrange it on a plate. Add a portion of seaweed salad on the side and drizzle the tahini sauce over the tuna.
5
Garnish
Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of the tuna and serve with wasabi on the side.
