Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 300 grams green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the wasabi paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice until combined. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Gently press each side of the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, coating them completely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the tuna rests, prepare the green beans. Trim the ends of the green beans if needed.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic and oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Plate the green beans alongside the sliced tuna steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy!
