Ahi Tuna

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a shallow dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the Ahi tuna steaks and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sesame Coating

    Spread sesame seeds on a plate. After marinating, remove the tuna from the marinade and coat both sides with sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little sesame oil if desired. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
