Tuna Preparation

Marinate the Tuna

Sear the Tuna
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides of the tuna steaks. Place the tuna in the hot pan and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
