INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tuna Steak
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
2 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 pinch Red Chili Flakes
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread sesame seeds evenly on a plate and press the tuna steak into them to form a crust on all sides.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and 0.5 teaspoon olive oil to form the spicy citrus sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the tuna steak and sear for about 1.5-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your desired doneness.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
Drizzle the spicy citrus sauce over the tuna slices or serve on the side. Enjoy your fresh, flavorful dish!
