Start by patting the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. This ensures a good sear. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds if you’re using them.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add sesame oil (or olive oil). Let it get hot but not smoking—this is key to getting a nice crust on the outside of the tuna.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the Ahi tuna steaks into the pan. Sear each side for 1-2 minutes, depending on how rare you like it. For a perfect rare center, cook just until the edges are browned but the middle is still bright pink.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Then slice the tuna thinly against the grain. This keeps the fish tender and makes it easier to eat.
Drizzle the sliced tuna with a bit of soy sauce and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
Ahi tuna is a smart addition to any meal plan, thanks to its nutrient-dense profile. It's especially beneficial for those looking to boost their intake of healthy fats and protein without consuming too many calories. Here are some of the top health benefits:
