Method
Preparation
Prepare the Tuna
Season the yellowfin tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Coat each steak with sesame seeds, pressing lightly to adhere.
Make the Sauce Vierge
In a small bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Make the Ginger-Lime Dressing
In another small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce until well combined.
Cooking
Sear the Tuna
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
Assembly
Plate the Dish
On a plate, arrange mixed greens and top with edamame. Slice the seared tuna and place it on top of the greens. Drizzle with sauce vierge and ginger-lime dressing before serving.
