INGREDIENTS
6 ounce Tuna Steak (170g)
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (9g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt (30g)
1 teaspoon Wasabi Paste (5g)
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (5g)
1 teaspoon Extra Olive Oil for Sauce (4.5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Press the tuna steak evenly into sesame seeds to coat all sides.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the tuna steak.
Sear the tuna for about 1.5-2 minutes per side for a rare center. Adjust cooking time if a different doneness is preferred.
While the tuna cooks, prepare the spicy wasabi sauce by mixing the nonfat Greek yogurt, wasabi paste, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of extra olive oil in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and slice it into thick strips.
Plate the tuna strips and drizzle with the spicy wasabi sauce, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
