Instructions
Season both sides of your tuna steaks with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Dredge each steak in the sesame seeds. Gently press the seeds into the tuna to make sure they stick.
Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large pan. When hot, add the tuna steaks.Cook 1-1½ minutes on each side for rare (which is best, but you can do what you want…), and approximately 2½ minutes per side for medium rare.
Remove the tuna from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice the steaks diagonally and serve.
