20 ounces sushi grade tuna
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup black and white sesame seeds

Instructions

Rub the tuna steaks with 1 teaspoon of oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the sesame seeds on a medium plate. Dip entire surface of the steak into sesame seeds, pressing to adhere.
