Yield 12 sliders, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups black sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups white sesame seeds
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 lbs ahi tuna steaks, 1 inch thick, cut into 3 inch by 3 inch square portions
12 dinner rolls, small, sliced in half horizontally, lightly toasted (I like those Hawaiian rolls you can get in the grocery store)
wasabi ketchup, to taste, for serving

Steps:

Combine black and white sesame seeds in bowl. Dredge tuna in seed mix, rolling gently to cover completely.
Heat olive and sesame oils in large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and place tuna in pan, searing until white seeds are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn carefully so seeds don't fall off. Cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest a few minutes.
Place tuna on bottom halves of rolls. Top each one with sweet wasabi ketchup. Cover with toll tops and serve.

SEARED SESAME-CRUSTED AHI TUNA

I have tried several different recipes for making ahi tuna and was disappointed every time. So I have blended several things about other recipes to create this. I'm sure this isn't completely original, but it is original to me. This can be served as a main course with some rice and asparagus (or stir-fry vegetables) or as an appetizer. I like a little soy sauce for dipping, but there are many other spicier dipping sauces you could use.

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks
1 ½ teaspoons blackened seasoning
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Steps:

Rinse tuna and pat dry. Place in a prep dish and sprinkle both sides with blackened seasoning. Brush teriyaki sauce on all sides of the tuna to glaze it.
Mix white and black sesame seeds together in a shallow dish. Dredge tuna in the sesame seeds until all sides are coated.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Arrange tuna in the pan and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. Flip and cook for another 3o to 45 seconds; do not overcook!
Quickly transfer tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange tuna on individual plates, overlapping slices slightly. Serve immediately.

Tips:

For the freshest ahi tuna, look for fish that is bright red and has a firm texture. Avoid fish that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
If you are using frozen ahi tuna, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
To make the black and white sesame seeds, simply toast them in a pan over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown.
For the ponzu sauce, you can use store-bought or make your own. To make your own, simply combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and dashi in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let cool.
To assemble the dish, simply arrange the ahi tuna cubes on a plate and top with the black and white sesame seeds and the ponzu sauce. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Ahi tuna cube with toasted black and white sesame is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The ahi tuna is seared until it is rare or medium-rare, and then topped with a flavorful ponzu sauce and toasted black and white sesame seeds. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
