Sesame-Crusted Seared Tuna with Spicy Citrus Sauce
Experience a delightful twist on a classic dish with tender, seared tuna steak encrusted in crunchy sesame seeds, paired with a vibrant spicy citrus sauce. This meal delivers a burst of citrus tang and a subtle heat that perfectly complements the rich flavor of tuna.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tuna Steak
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Honey
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels.
Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press the tuna steak evenly into the seeds to form a crust on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steak and sear for about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
While the tuna is searing, combine orange juice, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and honey in a small bowl to create the spicy citrus sauce.
Once seared, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes. Slice the tuna steak and drizzle with the spicy citrus sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of crunchy, tangy and spicy flavors.
