Sesame-Crusted Seared Tuna with Spicy Citrus Sauce
Enjoy a vibrant and flavorful dish featuring a perfectly seared tuna steak encrusted with crunchy sesame seeds, paired with a zesty spicy citrus sauce that brightens every bite. The tuna is lightly seared to lock in its delicate flavor while the sauce brings a tantalizing kick of heat and citrus, creating a balanced and sophisticated meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tuna Steak
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season lightly with a pinch of salt.
Spread sesame seeds evenly on a plate. Press both sides of the tuna steak into the seeds to create a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Sear the tuna for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a rare center, or longer if you prefer your tuna more cooked. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
While the tuna is searing, prepare the spicy citrus sauce by mixing together the fresh orange juice, lime juice, red chili flakes, and minced ginger in a small bowl.
Once seared to your liking, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna and drizzle with the spicy citrus sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful contrast of the crunchy sesame crust and the vibrant, spicy citrus sauce.
