Method

Prepare the Tuna

  1. 1

    Coat the Tuna

    Season the albacore tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Press the sesame seeds onto both sides of the tuna steaks to create a crust.

  2. 2

    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 until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the tuna is rare in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.

Prepare the Wasabi Soy Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce and wasabi paste until well combined. Adjust the wasabi to taste.

Prepare the Broccolini

  1. 4

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds. Add broccolini and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt to taste.

Plate and Serve
