Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and sesame oil. Brush the mixture over both sides of the tuna steaks.
On a separate plate, spread the sesame seeds evenly. Gently press each side of the tuna steaks onto the seeds to coat them.
In a medium non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the sesame-coated tuna steaks.
Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. For a traditional seared tuna, the inside should remain pink and rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the wasabi green onion mayo.
Slice the tuna steaks into thick strips and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle or dollop the wasabi green onion mayo over the tuna.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra chopped green onions or a wedge of lemon on the side.
