Ingredients
-
4 (6 ounce) sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
-
1 ½ teaspoons blackened seasoning
-
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
-
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
-
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
-
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Directions
-
Rinse tuna and pat dry. Place in a prep dish and sprinkle both sides with blackened seasoning. Brush teriyaki sauce on all sides of the tuna to glaze it.
-
Mix white and black sesame seeds together in a shallow dish. Dredge tuna in the sesame seeds until all sides are coated.
-
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Arrange tuna in the pan and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and cook for another 3o to 45 seconds; do not overcook!
-
Quickly transfer tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange tuna on individual plates, overlapping slices slightly. Serve immediately.
Cook's Notes:
Use tuna steaks that are 1-inch thick. I like Chef Paul Prudhomme(R) blackened seasoning, but you can use any or make your own.
