Instructions

  1. 1. Pat the tuna steak dry and season lightly with salt. Mix the black and white sesame seeds in a shallow plate and coat the tuna evenly by pressing it into the seeds.
  2. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the sesame-coated tuna in the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until the sesame seeds are golden and the tuna is cooked to your preference. Remove from heat and let it rest.
  3. 3. In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and chopped red chili. Adjust the salt to taste.
  4. 4. Assemble the salad by combining julienned green bell pepper, sliced cucumber, shredded cabbage, and fresh coriander in a large bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  5. 5. Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and arrange them on top of the salad. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately for a refreshing, protein-packed meal.
