Creating Seared Tuna with Ponzu for Dipping is straightforward, following these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Tuna: Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a better sear.
2. Season the Tuna: Lightly sprinkle both sides of the tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
4. Sear the Tuna: Carefully place the tuna steaks in the skillet. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness.
5. Remove from Heat: Once seared, remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
6. Slice the Tuna: Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin strips or rounds, depending on your preference for serving.
7. Prepare Ponzu Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, mirin, yuzu juice, scallions, and ginger until well combined.
8. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced tuna for added texture and visual appeal.
