1
Prepare Wasabi Aioli
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and lime juice until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2
Prepare Tuna
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
3
Coat Tuna with Sesame Seeds
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Press each tuna steak into the sesame seeds to coat both sides evenly.
4
Sear Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame crusted tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is reached.
5
Serve
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute. Slice the tuna and serve with the wasabi aioli on the side.
