How to Make Wasabi Sesame Tuna
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon wasabi paste (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper.
- Add the tuna steaks and gently toss to coat both sides completely.
- Marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator. For maximum flavor, marinate overnight in a resealable bag.
- While the tuna marinates, place 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a separate shallow dish.
- Coat a large skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and heat over high heat.
- Press each tuna steak into the sesame seeds, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
- Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare).
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or with your favorite stir-fry vegetables.
