Ingredients

  • 4 Ahi tuna steaks (8 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons wasabi powder
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream

Preparation

Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Combine sesame seeds, then encrust tuna steaks with seeds until evenly coated.

Heat medium nonstick sauté pan over high heat until very hot. Sear tuna for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, until rare in the center and evenly cooked on each side, then let rest. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; sear in multiple batches if necessary.

Hydrate wasabi with water, then mix into sour cream and adjust proportions as necessary for heat. Serve with seared tuna.
