INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Ahi Tuna Steak
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the sesame seeds on a small plate and lightly press the tuna steak into the seeds, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the tuna steak in the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The outside should form a golden, crunchy crust while keeping the center rare to medium-rare.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and allow it to rest for a minute before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of textures and flavors.
