Sesame Seared Tuna

Method

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.
