Instructions

Coat your tuna steak in a mixture of black and white sesame seeds.
Sear each side in a hot skillet with a little oil for 1–2 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness. For best results, leave the center rare or medium-rare.
Remove from heat and let rest briefly before slicing against the grain.
Serve immediately with suggested sides like Asian slaw, rice or quinoa, and garlic soy sauce.
