Learn how to make a perfectly seared sesame-crusted tuna steak with a rare, tender center. This recipe includes a simple dipping sauce for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb tuna steak
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and black pepper to make the dipping sauce. Set aside.
  2. Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels.
  3. Press the sesame seeds onto all sides of the tuna steak.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the tuna steak for 1-2 minutes per side, until the edges are golden brown and the center is still rare.
  6. Slice the tuna steak and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For a firmer center, sear for an additional 30 seconds per side.
  • You can toast the sesame seeds before coating the tuna for a deeper flavor.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dipping sauce for a little heat.
