1
Marinate the Tuna
In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Place the Ahi tuna steaks in the marinade, covering them completely. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2
Prepare the Grill or Pan
Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or skillet to prevent sticking.
3
Cook the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Season each steak with salt and pepper. Grill or sear the tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
4
Serve
Once cooked to your preference, remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the tuna steaks and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
