Report
Elegance and great taste belie the ease of preparation of Sesame Crusted Tuna. Drizzle with a quick ginger lime soy sauce for even more flavor.

Ingredients
Tuna:
- 3 Tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 3 Tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 24 ounces sashimi grade tuna see note
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- salt pepper
Sauce:
- 3 T soy sauce
- 3 T lime juice
- ½ teaspoon dried ginger
Instructions
- Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine the black and white sesame seeds and stir to mix.
- Pat tuna dry. Season with salt and pepper and dredge in the sesame seeds, coating the tuna evenly.
- Pour oil into a frying pan on medium-high heat, and heat until the oil is starting to smoke. Place tuna in the pan and cook until the white sesame seeds start to turn golden underneath, about 1 minute. Turn the tuna and cook the other side about another minute. (Mine was roughly triangular, so I browned on 3 sides).
- Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the tuna on individual plates, overlapping the slices. Serve immediately using the sauce for dipping or pouring over the slices.
Notes
- If needed, cut tuna into 12-ounce “logs” or 6-ounce steaks
