I made this as an entree last night for our friend before he moves away in a few days.

It was really quick to prepare which is always important when you have visitors – you don’t want to spend the entire time cooking – and it is really tasty. All round winner in my books.

Serves 4

Ingredients 

Seared tuna

• 400g fresh tuna – I used yellow fin
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• olive oil for searing

Dipping sauce 

• 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

Spicy mayo

• 2 tbsp Japanese mayo
• 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions 

1. Mix all of the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Mix the spicy mayo ingredients together. Set aside.
3. Lay sesame seeds on a board or plate. Press tuna steaks into them until coated.
4. Heat pan to a high heat. Place the oil in the pan.
5. Place tuna steaks in the pan. Sear for approximately 90 seconds each side (depending on the thickness of your tuna).
6. Remove from pan and slice.
7. Place the sliced tuna on dinner plates. Place about 2 tbsp of the dipping sauce on top and then place spicy mayo on top.

Easy and delicious! Just how food should be. X
