INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Ahi Tuna Steak
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the Ahi tuna steak dry with paper towels. Lightly season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Place the sesame seeds on a small plate. Press the tuna steak into the seeds to coat all sides evenly.
Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the tuna steak to the skillet and sear for about 1.5-2 minutes on each side for a rare center, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.
While the tuna cooks, combine the grated ginger, fresh lime juice, and low-sodium soy sauce in a small bowl to create the ginger-lime sauce.
Once the tuna is seared, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice thinly if desired.
Plate the seared tuna alongside the pre-cooked quinoa, and drizzle the ginger-lime sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the interplay of the crunchy sesame crust and the refreshing zing of the sauce.
