1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the fresh tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Coat with Sesame Seeds
Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press the tuna steak into the seeds to coat both sides thoroughly.
3
Pan Seer the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sesame-coated tuna steak. Sear for about 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
4
Slice the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the tuna steak against the grain.
5
Prepare Honey Wasabi Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, and wasabi paste until well combined.
6
Serve
Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate, drizzle with the honey wasabi sauce, and serve with pickled ginger on the side.
