Cooking and Assembly

Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, quickly sear the marinated tuna for about 30 seconds on each side, just enough to create a crust while keeping the center rare.

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

On a serving plate, arrange the shaved cucumber ribbons artistically. Layer the sliced tuna on top.

Sprinkle the chopped scallions and sesame seeds over the top for garnish.

Drizzle a small amount of the marinade over the assembled dish for added flavor.
