How to Make Seared Sesame Tuna With Orange Glaze

In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds.
Dredge each tuna steak (about 6 oz each) in the flour-sesame mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the tuna steaks in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, for a total of 6-8 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
In the same skillet, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
Return the tuna steaks to the skillet to coat them with the glaze.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of minced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
