Sesame Crusted Tuna
Crusted? Encrusted? Who knows. Anyway, a coworker passed along this recipe a few years ago and now it is our favorite way to make tuna. I leave my tuna nearly breathing in the middle, but the man likes his cooked all the way through. I normally serve this with some oriental noodles (today it was Lipton Teriyaki) and maybe a salad or veggie stir fry. We had some veggie potstickers from Trader Joe’s so those went along side instead of official “veggies.”
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 Tbs sesame seeds
- 2 tuna steaks
- 1 clove garlic, crushed with press
Mix mayo, soy sauce, and garlic together in a zip lock bag. Add tuna, allow to marinate for 1 hour. Remove from bag. Press seeds into one side of tuna steak. Broil on each side until desired doneness. (Mine is about 2 minutes per side, the man’s more like 5 per side.) You can also cook them in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, sesame seed side first.
