INGREDIENTS
5 oz Tuna Steak
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Honey
1/4 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread sesame seeds evenly on a plate and press both sides of the tuna steak into the seeds, ensuring a good coating.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the tuna in the skillet and sear for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side for a rare center, or adjust time to your preferred doneness.
Meanwhile, prepare the spicy citrus sauce by combining fresh orange juice, lime juice, honey, red chili flakes, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Once tuna is seared, remove from heat and let it rest for a minute. Slice the tuna against the grain and drizzle with the spicy citrus sauce.
Serve immediately, enjoying the balanced combination of savory tuna and zesty sauce.
