Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh tuna steaks (5-6 oz each)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the soy sauce and oil in the bowl. Place tuna steaks in the bowl and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, granulated garlic, sugar, oregano and black pepper. Coat the tuna steaks with the sesame seed mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered.
  • Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil to the skillet or grill to prevent sticking. Once it is hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 1,5-2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Slice and enjoy!
