Nothing is easier and more delicious than Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna, which has been lightly seared and served rare with tangy ginger soy dipping sauce. Encrusting the tuna with sesame seeds provides an Asian flair, protecting the fish during the sear and adding a nutty flavor as the seeds toast.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
Tuna steaks (2-4}
4 Tablespoons white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt & Pepper
Large skillet

Ginger soy dipping sauce:

2 ounces (60ml) soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated on a rasp
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Can be used immediately or covered tightly and used later. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Make the sauce first and set aside.

Pat the tuna with paper towels to dry off any excess liquid. Season with salt & pepper on both sides.

Preheat the skillet over a medium heat. While the skillet is heating, spread the sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Then, dip the sides of the tuna into the sesame seeds to form a crust.

When the pan is hot, add the oil and allow it to heat until it shimmers. Add the tuna steaks. Sear for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Flip the tuna and sear the other side for just 1 minute. After each side is seared, remove it from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.

Do Not Overcook!!! Tuna should still be red and rare inside. Serve with dipping sauce.
