Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb fresh tuna steak (make sure it's at least 1 inch thick)
2 tsp black sesame seeds
2 tsp regular sesame seeds
1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
wasabi sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp prepared wasabi
garnish
pickled ginger

Directions:

Allow the tuna to rest at room temp for about 30 minutes to an hour before you begin
Combine the sesame seeds and pepper on a plate
Cut the tuna steak in half, making 2 sections about an inch thick by about 4 or 5 inches long
Coat the fish lightly with some sesame oil, and dredge in the seed/pepper mix
Place the remaining oil in a non stick pan and heat on medium high - high
When ready, sear the tuna on each side quickly...about 20 - 30 seconds each side
Remove from the heat and slice into 1/4 inch pieces
Mix the wasabi with the soy sauce until you get it just the way you want it. I like my wasabi kickin', so it looks almost like a mustard when it's ready...enough to make your nose run and your eyes water!
Serve with pickled ginger
