Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the albacore tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Press sesame seeds onto each side of the steaks to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, wasabi paste, and honey until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Broccolini

    In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccolini for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if necessary. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, depending on thickness.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Slice the seared tuna and arrange it on plates alongside the broccolini. Drizzle the wasabi soy sauce over the tuna and serve immediately.
