Sesame-Crusted Seared Tuna with Spicy Citrus Sauce
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic seared tuna, featuring a crunchy sesame crust and a lively spicy citrus sauce. The dish balances the rich, meaty tuna with a burst of citrus and a hint of heat that elevates every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tuna Steak
1 tbsp White Sesame Seeds
1 half-medium Orange (juice & zest)
1 half-medium Lime (juice)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1/4 tsp Red Chili Flakes
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels. Lightly season with a pinch of salt.
Brush the tuna lightly with a small amount of olive oil to help the sesame seeds adhere.
Coat the tuna evenly with white sesame seeds on all sides, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.
Sear the tuna for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust timing to your preference.
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.
Once the tuna is cooked, transfer it to a plate and drizzle the spicy citrus sauce over or serve on the side.
Slice the tuna and serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of the crisp sesame crust with the vibrant, tangy sauce.
