Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Seared Tuna Preparation

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fresh tuna steak with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is browned, but the inside remains rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tuna

    Once the tuna has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garnish

    In a small bowl, mix the sliced fresh chili, chopped cilantro, basil, and lime juice.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate, drizzle with soy sauce, and top with the fresh herb and chili mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve immediately.
