Seared Ahi Tuna Steak

Seared Ahi Tuna Steak

What You Will Need

2 Tbsp Patricia & Paul Toasted Sesame Oil

2 Tbsp Patricia & Paul Honey Ginger White Balsamic Vinegar

1 tsp wasabi paste

2 (4-5 oz each) ahi tuna steaks

1 Tbsp sesame seeds (mix of black and white)

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, white balsamic, and wasabi paste. Place the tuna steaks in the bowl, turning to coat, and then transfer to the fridge for 25 minutes.

Preheat the grill to at least 500F.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds on a separate plate. Turn the tuna in the marinade one last time, and then place the steaks on the hot grill. Sear for 35-40 seconds per side, remove from the grill, and place on the sesame seeds. Press each piece of tuna onto the seeds, turning so both sides are lightly coated.

If a grill isn’t available, heat a frying pan with a few tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat until very hot, sear the tuna as if on the grill, and complete the recipe as detailed above.

Serve immediately.
