Instructions

Pat Bluefin Tuna Saku dry with paper towels.
Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for 1–2 minutes per side, leaving the center pink (medium-rare).
In the same pan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger to make a quick glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the seared tuna.
Sauté bok choy in olive oil with minced garlic until tender but still crisp.
Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice, pickled ginger or microgreens, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
