Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Brush the tuna on both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with sesame seeds, pushing down to adhere.
  2. Place a non-stick saute pan over high heat. Sear the tuna on each side, about 30 seconds - 1 minutes per side. Do not over cook. Remove the tuna from the pan and set aside to cool then cover and chill in refrigerator.
  3. Slice the chilled tuna into very thin slices. Place the tuna on a plate, overlapping each slice. Slice the ends to they are all the same exact length.
  4. With a vegetable peeler or mandoline, shave the cucumber into long thin slices. Place the cucumber on a plate, overlapping each slice. Cut the ends to they are all the same exact length, about the same as the tuna.
  5. While the tuna and cucumber is chilling, make the dressing: In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame oil, garlic and chili sauce and process to mix. With the machine on, blend in the oil in a thin stream. Scrape the dressing into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. I then put the dressing in a squeeze bottle.
  6. To plate: Drizzle dressing on each plate. Divide the cucumbers on the dressing on each plate, leaving them overlapped. Top with the tuna in the opposite direction, also leaving it overlapped. Note: This step can be done in advance so you can put the plated dishes back in the fridge until ready to serve.
