Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1 tuna steak 2-inch thick, sushi-grade, or fillet
  • ½ tablespoon green onions sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, white sesame seeds, honey, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Pour the mixture over the tuna steak until fully coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 10 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Heat a skillet on high. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steak for 2 minutes on each side. The tuna should be medium-rare for best results.
  4. Transfer the seared tuna steak to a cutting board. Slice into ½-inch-thick slices. Serve the sliced tuna with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
