Ingredients
2 sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
½ teaspoon wasabi paste (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 stalk green onions, chopped
2 lemon or lime wedges
Instructions
1. Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and coat all sides with sesame seeds.
2. Place a nonstick or cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the tuna steaks for about 45–60 seconds per side until edges are cooked but center remains rare.
4. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, grated ginger, and wasabi paste to make the dipping sauce.
5. Remove tuna from the pan and let it rest briefly. Slice thinly against the grain, arrange on a plate, drizzle with sauce, garnish with green onions and lemon or lime. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use only sushi-grade tuna for safety and quality.
Don’t overcook — the center should stay rare.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
