Como fazer Seared Sesame Crusted Tuna
- In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of white sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds. Stir to mix thoroughly.
- Season both sides of the tuna steak (about 6 ounces) generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Press the tuna steak firmly into the sesame seed mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of high-heat oil (e.g., avocado or grapeseed) in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and almost smokes. Carefully place the tuna steak in the hot skillet.
- Sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the white sesame seeds begin to turn golden brown and the tuna is cooked to your desired level of doneness (rare to medium-rare is recommended for best results). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy – 125°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna steak into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra sesame seeds or a drizzle of soy sauce (optional).
