Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Pat the fresh tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steak and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms. The center should remain rare.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tuna

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the tuna thinly against the grain.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate. Drizzle with ponzu sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
