Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 2-inch thick sushi-grade tuna steak/fillet
- ½ tablespoon green onions sliced
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, white sesame seeds, honey, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture over the tuna steak until fully coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 10 minutes in the fridge.
- 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.
- 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.
