Sesame-Crusted Tuna
Servings: 2 -4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb tuna steak easier to cook if its cut into ½ lb steaks
- ½ cup black and white sesame seeds You can also buy a seasoned sesame seed mix. I like the ginger sesame mix from Whole Foods
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Season both sides of your tuna steaks with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Dredge each steak in the sesame seeds. Gently press the seeds into the tuna to make sure they stick.
- Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large pan. When hot, add the tuna steaks.Cook 1-1½ minutes on each side for rare (which is best, but you can do what you want…), and approximately 2½ minutes per side for medium rare.
- Remove the tuna from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice the steaks diagonally and serve.
