Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna Bowls
These Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna Bowls are full of flavor, crunchy veggies and topped with the most perfectly cooked tuna. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or lunch.
Ingredients
The Tuna:
- 1 Sushi grade tuna steak (1/2 lb of tuna per person)
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- A few tbsp of soy sauce
- Oil for frying (I like avocado oil or another light oil)
The Cucumber Salad:
- 1 cup cucumbers, diced
- 1 tbsp Kewpie mayo
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp sweet chili sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Furikake
The Rest:
- Sushi rice
- Edamame
- Scallions, chopped
- Radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry tuna. Coat in a layer of soy sauce. Add sesame seeds to a shallow bowl in an even layer. Coat all sides of the tuna.
- Get a skillet ripping hot and turn on fan as it will get a little smoky (don’t worry, it’s quick). Once oil is hot, add tuna and let sear for 1-3 min (depending on how thick your steak is). Flip and repeat on other side.
- Remove and slice into strips. Make cucumber salad by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing well until combined. Serve with sushi rice and any other fixings you like! Enjoy!
