Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Wasabi Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and wasabi paste together until smooth. Adjust the wasabi level to taste.

  2. 2

    Coat Ahi Tuna

    Season the Ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Press both sides of the steaks into the sesame seeds to coat them evenly.

  3. 3

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sesame-crusted tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired.

  4. 4

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the seared tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna into thin strips. Serve with wasabi mayo, pickled ginger, and goma wakami on the side.
