1 Cannon Fish Ahi Tuna steak (about 8 oz. or 1/2 lb.)
2 Tbl each of black & white sesame seeds
Kosher salt
Olive oil (or vegetable oil) for frying
Optional: Arugula tossed in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and wasabi
Let tuna steak completely defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Lightly pat the steak with a paper towel to absorb excess juices. Cut steak to your liking—you can sear the entire steak as it is or cut it into a rectangle to get even slices.
In a separate bowl, add the black and white sesame seeds, as well as a sprinkle of kosher salt. Using tongs, coat the entire outside of the tuna by pressing it into the sesame seeds until the steak is completely covered.
Add enough oil to just coat the bottom of the pan and preheat the pan to medium-high heat. Then take the tuna and place it in the hot pan and sear for about 45 seconds* on all sides (including the skinnier sides). Tongs really help for this process.
Slice steak and serve on a bed of arugula with soy sauce and wasabi. You can also drizzle some teriyaki sauce over it for flavor if you’d like!
*If you like sashimi, cook only 45 seconds on each side. For a more thorough cook, sear for up to two minutes on all sides. Be careful to not overcook or your tuna will be too dry.
