Sesame Seared Tuna

1. 1

   Prepare the Tuna

   Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Marinate

   In a shallow dish, mix together sesame oil and soy sauce. Add the tuna steaks and marinate for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. 3

   Coat with Sesame Seeds

   Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press each tuna steak into the seeds to coat both sides.

4. 4

   Sear the Tuna

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Remove from heat and let the tuna rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve with skillet potatoes and onions, and broccoli au gratin.
