Seared Tuna

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger

  minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic

  minced
• ½ lemon

  juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ pound tuna steaks
• ¼ cup sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 sprigs fresh cilantro

  chopped
• 1 scallion

  chopped

Instructions

• 1 In an oven-safe dish, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, lemon,
  salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
• 2 Add the tuna to the dish and ensure it is coated generously with the marinade.
  Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight. Remove
  the tuna steaks from the refrigerator approximately 15 minutes before you want
  to cook them so they can come to room temperature. This step will give the tuna
  a more even sear than cooking it cold.
• 3 Spread the sesame seeds on a plate and dredge to coat all sides of your
  marinated tuna steaks.
• 4 Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
• 5 Once hot, carefully place your crusted tuna steaks in the pan to sear on both
  sides (approximately 1-2 minutes).
• 6 Once rested, slice your steak, serve it with cilantro and scallions, and enjoy!
