Seared Sesame-crusted Tuna

Awesome! Just what I was looking for. I'm new to the fish world and had something like this in a restaurant. I sliced mine paper thin and put it on a bed of greens with mandarin oranges, pecans, red bell pepper and a ginger dressing. OMG!

This was great! We used cracked black pepper because we didn't have black sesame seeds. I think it would be better as written, though (all sesame seeds). We made this with #311191. It needed the sauce. I wouldn't have liked it as much without it.

I am a bachelor with limited cooking experience. I love sesame crusted tuna when I dine out, so thought I'd give this recipe a try. This is a very simple recipe to prepare and the results were great! The tuna turned out perfectly and the flavor from the roasted sesame seeds was great! I think the only thing that could have improved the result would be to add a small amount of some sauce. Something wasabi or ginger based would be an excellent match.

We tried this tonight and it was very good. We topped it with a pat of garlic butter and it was wonderful! I would definitely make this again!

Very good. Because my tuna was frozen, gasp, I had lemon, soy sauce and wasabi, as an accompaniments. I also took KateL's advice and served it with Emerald Rice Bake, yummy. I think this would also be good with a nice romaine salad and wild rice. Thanks for posting!

Fantastico, RESTAURANT QUALITY, straight to Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbook, DH says it's a bargain even when yellow-fin tuna is $20/pound at Wegman's. Couldn't find black sesame seeds, so used poppy seeds instead to offer the visual contrast, with no detraction from the superb taste. To sate our appetites, I served this with Emerald Rice Bake (Broccoli) #361987, which was also delicious. Thank you for posting this recipe, Miraklegirl! Made for Top Favorites of 2008 Tag, on recommendation of Maito.

WOWEE! This is a great crust. We liked it dipped simply in soy sauce, so we could fully taste the flavor. The black and white sesame seeds make for a beautiful presentation (see my photos). We seared it about 20 seconds per side, until maybe 1/8 to a 1/4 inch of the flesh was turning white from being cooked. That is best way to eat seared tuna!

I make mine with just white sesame seeds and coarse black pepper for a crust. I then place the tuna on top of a slaw made of the follwing ingredients: coleslaw mix, asian style salad dressing, red pepper strips and sunflower seeds. I also cook mine 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare. NOTE: I just made this again tonight and used Soy Dipping Sauce (For Pot Stickers or Egg Rolls) as a dipping sauce. . .devine!

Very simple, very tasty. I've tried to pan sear tuna before without success and I was nervous about doing it with sesame seeds... but it came out exactly like how restaurants do it. I used toasted sesame seeds. Came out beautifully, and the seeds do stick, amazingly enough, without any extra paste.

I had eaten sesame crusted tuna in a New York Restaurant. This was every bit as delicious. It was easy to prepare, and we both loved it. I served it with the wasabi sauce. Thank you!

I made this as and appetizer for our father's day dinner and it did not disappoint! It looked beautiful and tasted super yummy. In addition it was fast and easy to make. We served it with the recommended sauce, 89827, which was also a hit. Yum!

My husband and I made this for my mil birthday party. We couldn't find black sesame seeds, so we used only the white ones and everyone raved! This is very simple yet tasty. We used the Wasabi Sauce #89827. Fresh tuna is expensive, so if your on a budget you may not want to choose this recipe. 5 STARS!!

This was very good and could not be simpler! I served it with Spicy Pineapple Mango Salsa #67080, and red beans & rice. Next time I may try cooking a bit of minced ginger or orange zest in the oil before adding the fish - we felt this was good, but needed a little "something" to perk it up (but yet I don't want to add too much since a major part of the allure of this dish is its simple flavors and preparation). This will work equally well as a weekday recipe or for company. Thank you!

This was great!! I made it according to the recipe, except I forgot the black sesame seeds, so I only used white. I also cooked it just a bit longer, but it was till quite pink in the middle. DH has been requesting tuna steaks for a while, and when I saw this recipe I knew we had to try it. We also used the wasabi sauce recipe that Miraklegirl posted along with this one. DH loves wasabi, I wasn't too sure. If anything, we would have made the sauce a little stronger. It was good, but really mild. Definitely an easy keeper recipe!!!

OH MY GOSH---THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Simply beautiful to look at and the flavor was to die for!! I give this thirty stars! Perfect texture of the tuna--if I had had sushi grade tuna I would have allowed it to remain pink in the middle, but it was still really good! Fiance absolutely loved this. I was going to use your wasabi sauce, but didn't have the wasabi paste or the coriander so I whipped up a mustard vinaigrette and served it sliced on a bed of spinach. Phenomenal! And I took a picture and will post it when it's developed. Thank you for recommending!!!
