– 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Creating your very own Fast & Easy Seared Tuna is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Prep the Tuna: Start with fresh tuna steaks. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, grated ginger, and cracked black pepper. Place the tuna steaks in the bowl and marinate for about 5-10 minutes.
3. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to become hot before adding the tuna to achieve a beautiful sear.
4. Cook the Tuna: Add the marinated tuna to the hot skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
5. Season: Sprinkle sea salt over the steaks while they cook to enhance the flavor.
6. Rest the Tuna: Once perfectly seared, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Slice: Using a sharp knife, cut the tuna against the grain into thin slices for better tenderness.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and visual appeal.

Follow these steps to enjoy an incredibly quick and delicious meal that showcases the best that seared tuna can offer.
