    Prepare the Wasabi Soy Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and wasabi paste until well combined. Set aside.

    Season the Tuna

    Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare (adjust time for desired doneness).

    Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna steaks into thin strips, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve alongside the avocado and cucumber. Drizzle with wasabi soy sauce.
