Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Crust the Tuna

    In a shallow dish, combine black and white sesame seeds. Press each side of the tuna steaks into the sesame mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, and wasabi paste until well combined.

  5. 5

    Slice the Avocado

    While the tuna is resting, slice the avocado into thin pieces.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the tuna steaks and arrange on a plate. Drizzle with the ginger-soy sauce and garnish with avocado slices.
