Pan Seared Ahi Tuna

STEP 1: MARINADE

Combine the soy sauce and sesame oil in a shallow dish and then fully coat the ahi on all sides. Let the ahi sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while preparing the sesame crust mix.

STEP 2: SESAME CRUST

Combine the sesame seeds, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and spread out evenly on a plate. Place the ahi steaks on the sesame seed crust mixture and press them firmly to get the crust to stick. Coat all sides of the ahi.

STEP 3: COOK

Heat a skillet over medium heat, and when its blazing hot, add a little neutral oil to the pan and then carefully add the ahi steaks. Cook undisturbed for 45-60 seconds until they get a nice seared crust. Flip and repeat the process on the other side and then remove.
