- 7 oz tuna steak prefer sushi grade
- 3 tbsp black sesame seed
- 3 tbsp white sesame seed
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 sheet nori cut into small pieces, optional
- spring mix salad as needed
- 1 medium avocado sliced
Creamy Ginger Dressing
- 4 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce prefer Kikkoman
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic grated
- 2 tsp ginger grated
- 1 tsp cayenne powder
- ⅔ c mayonnaise
For seared tuna
In a medium size mixing bowl or deep dish, add sesame seeds in then coat all sides of tuna evenly with the mixture. Slightly press sesame seeds to adhere to the tuna.
On medium high heat, heat a generous amount of oil (about 3-4 tbsp) in a large frying pan. Wait until the oil is hot, put tuna in and sear for 20 to 30 seconds. Remember to cook only the outer part of the tuna, not the whole tuna thoroughly.
Turn the tuna to the other side and keep searing until the outer part of that side is cooked. Keep turning and searing tuna until 4 main sides of the tuna steak are cooked (outer part only).
Let the tuna rest for 30 seconds so it's not too hot to handle. Use a sharp knife to slice or cut tuna into desired size.
Assemble
Lightly toss salad with creamy ginger dressing and put them on a serving plate.
Add nori (optional), slices of avocado & seared tuna on top. Serve immediately.
