Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by patting dry the Ahi tuna steaks with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the tuna and lightly coat each steak with olive oil.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly on both sides of the tuna steaks and press gently to adhere.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the remaining olive oil.
Place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet and sear for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Slice the tuna against the grain and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
