Sesame Seared Tuna Recipe

Prepare the Tuna

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

Coat with Sesame Seeds

Press sesame seeds onto both sides of the seasoned tuna steaks until well coated.

Sear the Tuna

Heat olive 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, or longer if desired.

Slice and Serve

Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice and serve immediately.

Prepare the Broccoli

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green.

Sauté Broccoli

Drain and transfer to a skillet. Heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté the broccoli for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender.

Cook the Potatoes

In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Mash and Flavor

Drain the potatoes, then return to the pot. Add butter, milk, wasabi paste, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, combine chicken or beef stock, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil.

Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir into the boiling sauce and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
