1
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Coat the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Press sesame seeds onto both sides of the steaks to create a crust.
2
Cook the Ahi Tuna
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until the sesame crust is golden and the tuna is cooked to your liking.
3
Prepare the Sesame Broccoli
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately toss with sesame oil, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.
4
Make the Ginger Aioli
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated ginger, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
