Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs ahi tuna steaks (1-2 inches thick at least)
  • 1 shallot (sliced thinly)
  • 1 avocado (sliced thinly)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (white or black)
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Season the Tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
    In a large skillet (I used a non stick skillet) heat the sesame oil over medium high heat.
    Add in the steaks and cook on the first side 1-2 minutes depending on the thickness. You only want it to turn white going up about 1/4 inch or less on the one side. Then flip the steaks and cook on the second side an additional minute. Pull steaks off and set aside to rest.
    Add in the shallot and soy sauce. Cook until shallot is just softening about 1-2 minutes. Pull off heat.
    Slice the tuna into thin slices. Layer the tuna on a plate or platter. Top with the slices of avocado and the soy sauce shallot mixture. Let any leftover juices drip on top. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve warm. I generally serve mine over white rice with a vegetable side.
