- 1⁄4 cup black sesame seed
- 1⁄2 cup white sesame seeds
- 4 (6 ounce) ahi tuna steaks, 1 inch thick

I have eaten seared tuna n restaurants and loved it but had not tried making it at home until a few days ago. Of course I turned to food.com for the how-to and found this recipe. It was perfect, just what I was looking for, and my tuna was perfect. I must admit to not having any black sesame seeds, so I just used white and it still was awesome. thanks, Miraklegirl, for a great recipe!!!!
