GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ASIAN SESAME CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, chopped scallions, lemon juice, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Swish everything around in the bag until it's well combined.
• Add the tuna steaks, turning to coat them completely with the marinade. Press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat; this can be a countertop contact grill, an open grill pan, or an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. If using a contact grill, set to "sear" or the highest temperature setting.
• Place the sesame seeds on a plate or a shallow dish. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, brushing the scallions off the steaks; reserve the marinade. One at a time, coat the steaks in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds onto the steaks so they'll stick.
• Spray the grill plates lightly with nonstick spray and place the steaks on the grill. If using a contact grill, close the cover so the top grill rests evenly on the steaks; do not press down. Grill for about 3 minutes for a rare, pink interior; grill longer if you prefer your tuna cooked through.
• If you are using an open grilling surface, carefully flip the tuna steaks with a pair of tongs after 3 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the steaks from the grill and keep warm.
• While the tuna cooks, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and add to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• To serve, slice the tuna steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces. Fan the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce.

SESAME CRUSTED TUNA STEAKS WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, heat sesame oil.
• Stir in the green onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.
• Add remaining ingredients and heat on medium until reduced by half.
• Sprinkle the tuna with the pepper, salt, and sesame seeds.
• Rub into meat to create crust.
• Heat cooking oil in a large skillet set over medium high.
• Add the tuna and cook until almost the desired degree of doneness.
• The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
• Two or 3 minutes on each side should result in a pink center.
• Drizzle sauce over the tuna and serve immediately.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH BLACK SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Coat a stove-top grill pan, griddle or skillet with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Season tuna steaks all over with salt and black pepper. Brush honey mustard all over both sides of tuna steaks. Press sesame seeds into both sides of tuna steaks. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side, until medium (longer for fully cooked, fork-tender fish).

SESAME-CRUSTED TUNA

Steps:

• In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast the white sesame seeds until they are just beginning to turn light golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and spread seeds on a plate. Add the black sesame seeds to the plate if using, and stir seeds around with fingertips to combine.
• Brush the tuna pieces on all sides with olive oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper, and dip tuna pieces in the seeds, pressing to coat on all sides. Set aside on a wax foil lined cookie sheet.
• When ready to cook, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high in the skillet. When oil is hot, add the butter, when the butter foams, add the fish to the skillet. Let cook without moving the fish for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the sesame crust begins to crisp and brown. When the crust is golden brown, turn the fish and cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes, adding additional butter if needed to keep the fish from sticking and speed up the browning. Once the second side is browned, turn the fish pieces on edge with tongs, to brown the remaining sides.
• Remove from heat and set aside. Fish will be medium rare at this point. If you prefer fish more well done, place the ban with the fish in a 375 degree F oven for another 3 to 5 minutes.
• To serve, slice each portion in half and place on the pasta bed with the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with finishing salt, if desired.

BLACKENED TUNA STEAK WITH FRUIT AND BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub fish with your favorite blacken seasoning.
• Grill or saute fish until cooked to desired amount.
• While fish is cooking, in a saucepan combine warm sliced strawberries with a little water, 1 Tb balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of sugar (depending on the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar).
• Spoon berries over the fish and enjoy.
• Note: The author of the recipe says you can use other types of fresh berries in this dish, depending on what is seasonal or what you have on hand.

TUNA WITH SESAME CRUST AND BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix vinegar and 2 tablespoons water with green onion and ginger in a bowl. Place tuna in mixture, and marinate about an hour.
• To cook, remove tuna from marinade; set marinade aside. Press sesame seeds into both sides of tuna. Heat nonstick pan to medium, and add oil. Quickly sear tuna on both sides, just a couple of minutes -- seeds brown quickly. Remove tuna from pan, pour in reserved marinade, and bring to a boil. Pour over tuna, and serve.

SESAME TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of tuna steaks with salt; rub with sesame seeds. In a large skillet, cook tuna in oil over medium heat until slightly pink in the center, 2-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

SESAME SEED RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Combine the almond flour, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
• Add the avocado oil and mix thoroughly with a fork.
• Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix thoroughly, until small clumps form and the dough holds together when squeezed.
• Form the dough into a round, flattening the top and bottom as evenly as possible.
• Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and add another piece of parchment on top. Roll out the dough as evenly as possible, to between ¼- and ⅛-inch (6- and 3-mm) thick.
• Remove the top layer of parchment paper and place on a baking sheet. You may need to press the edges of the dough to form an even rectangle.
• Using a cookie cutter or pizza cutter, slice the dough to desired size. If using a cookie cutter, re-roll the excess dough and cut out more crackers.
• If desired, use the blunt end of a skewer to poke holes in each of the crackers.
• Carefully place the crackers on the baking sheet. If the dough is too warm, the crackers will break as you attempt to transfer them. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes before proceeding if this happens.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
• Let the crackers cool completely and serve as desired. Store up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Enjoy!
