Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons White sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
On a plate, combine black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds. Dredge the tuna steaks in the sesame seed mixture, pressing gently to ensure the seeds adhere to the tuna.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for about 1-3 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For rare tuna, aim for about 1 minute per side.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let rest for a minute.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the seared tuna steaks.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the tuna before serving.
Serve immediately either on its own or with a low-carb salad or steamed greens.
