PREPARATION

1
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels. Lightly season with a pinch of salt.
2
Brush the tuna lightly with a small amount of olive oil to help the sesame seeds adhere.
3
Coat the tuna evenly with white sesame seeds on all sides, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.
5
Sear the tuna for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust timing to your preference.
6
While searing, prepare the spicy citrus sauce by combining orange juice and zest, lime juice, grated ginger, and red chili flakes in a small bowl.
7
Once the tuna is cooked, transfer it to a plate and drizzle the spicy citrus sauce over or serve on the side.
8
Slice the tuna and serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of the crisp sesame crust with the vibrant, tangy sauce.
