Seared Tuna Recipes

here's mine. simple and tasty. Sesame crusted tuna. But remember... you have to have FRESH, high grade tuna for it to be worth a damn. If it smells fishy, you'll never get that smell outta it.

Dry tuna steaks on paper towels so there is no moisture. Sprinkle salt on to steaks. Coat one side of steak with oil. Press oiled side in to sesame seeds, making sure to heavily coat. Repeat with the other side of steak. Place in to heated pan that has been sprinkled with oil. Cook each side about a minute and thirty seconds. Or until the sesame seeds have browned and crusted. But you want to make sure that the center is rare. And don't forget that the tuna should be room temperature before you start. Slice thin and serve with soy sauce and wasabi paste. Good stuff.
