Enjoy a vibrant, restaurant-worthy seared tuna dish featuring a crunchy sesame crust paired with a zesty, spicy citrus sauce that elevates every bite. The tender tuna is seared to perfection, ensuring a delicate balance of flavors and textures for a truly satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Tuna Steak
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
1 pinch Red Chili Flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread the sesame seeds evenly on a plate. Gently press the tuna steak into the seeds on both sides to form a crust.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the tuna steak in the skillet for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a rare center, or adjust time based on preferred doneness. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
While the tuna cooks, combine the orange juice, lime juice, minced ginger, and red chili flakes in a small bowl to create the spicy citrus sauce.
Once seared, remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna and drizzle the spicy citrus sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of the crunchy sesame crust with the zesty, vibrant sauce.
