Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat a cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) on medium high heat.
  • Pat dry the tuna steaks with a paper towel.
  • Rub one side of the steaks lightly with a few drops of olive or avocado oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, half of the herbes de Provence and sesame seeds.
  • Flip the steaks over and repeat the seasoning. Press gently to make sure the herbs and seeds adhere to the steak.
  • Once the skillet is properly heated (it should be very hot), turn on your kitchen fan on high. Pour in the rest of the oil and immediately add the tuna.
  • Cook one minute, then flip and sear the other side for one minute. Ahi tuna is best served very rare, so be careful not to overcook.
  • Once both sides are evenly browned, place on a cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice, and serve.
