Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons White sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
Instructions
Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
On a plate, mix together the white and black sesame seeds.
Press each side of the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sesame-coated tuna steaks in the skillet.
Sear the tuna steaks for about 1 to 1.5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For rare, cook for 1 minute; for medium-rare, cook for 1.5 minutes.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute before slicing.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and wasabi paste to make the dipping sauce.
Slice the tuna steaks and serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
