Seared Sesame Tuna with Zesty Sauce
Fresh tuna steak crusted with toasted sesame seeds, seared to perfection with a rare center, served with a creamy, bright citrus sauce. The tender fish has a beautiful pink center surrounded by a golden-brown crust, creating the perfect contrast of textures.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ahi Tuna Steak
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1/2 medium orange
1/2 medium lime
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press the tuna steak into them, coating all sides evenly.
In a small bowl, prepare the zesty sauce by combining Greek yogurt, orange juice, lime juice, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot and almost smoking.
Carefully place the sesame-crusted tuna in the hot pan and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired.
While cooking, brush the tuna with remaining soy sauce.
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
Slice the tuna against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Serve immediately with the zesty sauce drizzled over top or on the side.
