    Ingredients

    • Four tuna steaks, about 10-ounce each and 1/2 inch thick
    • 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
    • 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
    • 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
    • 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass
    • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
    • 1 teaspoon pepper flakes
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Vegetable oil
    • Mayonnaise and Lime wedges for serving

    Method

    • Step-by-step Method for Sesame Crusted Tuna
    • Pat tuna steaks completely dry with paper towels
    • Mix white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, lime zest, minced lemongrass, sweet paprika, pepper flakes, black pepper, salt together on a large plate
    • Press each tuna steak evenly into the sesame mixture to coat all sides generously
    • Pour vegetable oil into a large nonstick or cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking
    • While oil heats, prepare serving garnishes: wedge limes and set out mayonnaise in a small bowl
    • When oil is ready, place tuna steaks in pan carefully; avoid crowding
    • Sear tuna steaks for 45-60 seconds per side to achieve a deep crust while keeping the center rare
    • Remove immediately and let tuna rest for 2 minutes
    • Slice tuna steaks across the grain into thick strips using a very sharp knife
    • Arrange tuna slices fanned on a plate; garnish with lime wedges and serve with a dollop of mayonnaise on the side
