1
Mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and lime juice in a non metal bowl. Add ahi and coat , cover tightly, and refrigerate for about an hour.
2
Toast the sesame seeds in a pan until light brown (I prefer a blend of white and black sesame seeds- the black ones are hard to find, try an asian market). Remove seeds and allow to cool on a flat plate (you will use this plate to dredge the tuna in)- add cracked pepper.
3
Add olive oil to a skillet and allow it to get HOT.
4
Dredge the ahi in the sesame seeds and pepper to coat and add to the hot pan.
5
Cook only two or three minutes on each side so that the ahi is seared on the outside and rare on the inside.
6
Serve with white rice and green beans that have been either roasted or cooked and drizzled with sesame oil. Sprinkle any extra sesame seeds over the top.
7
garnish with remaining green onion and ENJOY!
