Sesame-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna
Ahi tuna steaks crusted in black and white sesame seeds, seared rare in minutes and sliced over a zippy soy-ginger dipping sauce.
- Five-minute cook time
- Crunchy sesame crust
- Light high-protein dinner
When you start with beautiful sushi-grade tuna, the best thing you can do is almost nothing. A quick coat of sesame seeds gives the steaks a nutty, crunchy crust, and a sear of less than a minute per side leaves a jewel-like ruby center. The dipping sauce is a quick ponzu-style blend of soy, rice vinegar, lime and ginger. It is our go-to when it is too hot to cook but we still want something that feels a little fancy.
Instructions
Make the dipping sauce: whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ginger and wasabi, if using. Stir in half the scallion and set aside.
