Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey to create the glaze.
  2. Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for more well-done.
