Directions

1. Pat the ahi tuna steak dry with paper towels.

2. In a shallow dish, combine the rice vinegar and soy sauce. Dip the ahi steak into the mixture, turning to evenly coat all sides.

3. In a separate shallow dish, combine the black sesame seeds and sesame seeds. Press the ahi steak into the sesame seed mixture, coating all sides evenly.

4. Heat the avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat for about 2 -3 minutes.

5. Carefully place the ahi steak in the hot skillet and sear for about 1–1½ minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak. For thinner steaks, reduce the cooking time slightly to maintain a rare center.

6. Transfer the ahi to a cutting board and let rest for 3 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, prepare and plate your Asian salad mix of choice.

8. Slice the ahi tuna thinly against the grain and arrange it over the salad.

9. Serve immediately.
