How to Make Sesame Seared Tuna Steaks
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Divide the mixture into two equal parts.
- Stir 1 tablespoon rice vinegar into one part of the mixture and set aside as a dipping sauce.
- Spread 2 tablespoons sesame seeds on a plate.
- Coat both tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each) with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
- Place tuna steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 30 seconds per side for rare, or longer for desired doneness. Use a thermometer to check for desired internal temperature (125°F for medium-rare, 130°F for medium).
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and a dollop of wasabi paste.
