Instructions
- Heat your skillet or grill pan to 425°F with medium-high temperature for perfect searing.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger into a smooth marinade.
- Thoroughly coat your 6-oz ahi tuna steaks in the prepared marinade, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons sesame seeds across both surfaces of the marinated tuna steaks.
- Place seasoned tuna onto the hot surface, cooking precisely 2 minutes on the first side to develop a golden crust.
- Flip the steaks and cook an additional 2 minutes on the second side, creating a rare to medium-rare center.
- Transfer tuna immediately from heat and allow 1 minute of resting time to help juices redistribute.
- Slice tuna against the grain into elegant, thin strips for serving.
Notes
- Sesame seeds add a nutty crunch and help create a beautiful golden crust on the tuna steaks.
- Always use fresh, high-quality ahi tuna for the best flavor and texture.
- For a low-carb version, skip the honey and use a sugar-free alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
- When grilling, ensure your pan or grill is extremely hot to get a perfect sear without overcooking the delicate tuna.
