1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the Yellowfin tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Tuna
In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steak and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the outside is golden brown but the inside remains rare.
3
Add Sesame Seeds
Sprinkle sesame seeds on each side of the tuna while searing to coat evenly.
4
Slice the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Then slice the tuna thinly against the grain.
5
Plate the Dish
Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate, drizzle with teriyaki sauce, and serve alongside pickled vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions, wasabi, and soy sauce on the side.
