  • ⅔ cup sesame seeds (white, black or mixture of both)

  • Pour the two oils together in a seperate plate.
  • Pat the tuna dry and then dip it or brush it with the oil mixture.
  • Transfer it to the sesame seeds and turn to give it an even coating on both sides.
  • Place a fry pan over medium-high heat, and once it is smoking add the tuna steaks.
  • Cook for 30 seconds on one side and flip and cook for a further 30 seconds.
  • Remove from the pan and use a super sharp knife to cut the tuna into bite sized chunks.
