Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. On a plate, combine the black peppercorns and sea salt. Press the tuna steaks into the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Sear the Tuna
Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot, add a small amount of oil (optional) to prevent sticking. Carefully place the peppered tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the outside is golden brown, while the inside remains rare.
Serving

Slice and Garnish
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna steaks into thin strips. Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle with the prepared marinade. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
