Seared Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna
Seared Ahi Tuna Steak
Ahi tuna that’s super easy to make. You just cover the steak with sesame seeds and sear it for a few minutes on both sides. However, be careful not to over cook it as the meat can dry out very quickly. In many parts of the world eating it raw is the only way to do it…so even a quick kiss to the grill is just fine as well. You will probably find that the sesame seeds really add a pleasant contrast in texture.
Serving Suggestion:
I typically serve the sesame encrusted tuna on steamed rice rice with some soy or teriyaki sauce and possibly some steamed broccoli or other green veg on the side.
Ingredients:
1 6 ounce ahi tuna steak
2 tablespoons of white and/or black sesame seeds (toasted)
1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
1. Cover and slightly press the sesame seeds on to the tuna steak
2. Preheat the oil in a pan.
3. Fry the tuna steak for 1-3 minutes per side depending upon thickness
