Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ginger & Soy Broth

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sesame Crust

    In a shallow dish, combine sesame seeds, salt, black pepper, and togarashi seasoning. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Crust the Tuna

    Coat each tuna steak in the sesame mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tuna

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame-crusted tuna steaks and sear for about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Peanut Topping

    In a small bowl, mix crushed peanuts with a pinch of togarashi seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the seared tuna steaks and arrange them on a plate. Drizzle with the ginger soy broth and sprinkle with togarashi peanuts. Serve immediately.
