Sesame Seared Tuna

By bweber

Ingredients

• 1 heaped tablespoon miso paste
• 2 x 150 g tuna steaks , (ideally 2cm thick), from sustainable sources
• 4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat. Rub the miso all over the tuna, then pat on the sesame seeds to cover. Place in the hot pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear for 1½ minutes on each side, so it’s beautifully golden on the outside but blushing in the middle. Remove to a board to rest. Quickly wipe out the pan with a ball of kitchen paper, then return to the heat.
