Tuna with sesame seeds

By polloazul

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 T. sesame seed oil
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
• cracked black pepper
• 2 T. chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Marinate the tuna, even if only 1/2 hour, in a splash of soy sauce, minced garlic and a drizzle of olive oil.

For a piece of tuna that weighs about 1 1/4 pounds, you'll need a total of about 1/4 cup of a combination of white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds. Black sesame seeds are harder to find than the white but sometimes they're available in small jars in the "ethnic" food sections of the grocery store. I bought mine in bulk at a local health food store. They're much cheaper that way and you only have to buy what you need.

Mix the two kinds of sesame seeds together on a plate. Take the tuna out of the marinade and press into the sesame seeds on the plate. Turn over and make sure that the tuna is covered on both sides with sesame seeds.
