Grilled Sesame Seed Ahi Tuna with 321 Sauce
Ingredients
Ahi Tuna
• 2 Ahi tuna steaks (about 4 ounces)
• ¾ cup sesame seeds
• Sesame oil
• Olive oil
• Fresh ground black pepper
321 Sauce
• 3 parts hoisin sauce
• 2 parts soy sauce
• 1 part sriracha
Instructions
1. Allow tuna steaks to reach room temperature (about 10-15 minutes). Turn grill on to high heat.
2. Coat tuna in olive oil. Add a couple drops of sesame oil to each side of tuna steak.
3. Season with fresh ground black pepper to each side of tuna.
4. Cover the steaks with a thin layer of sesame seeds. Gently press the seeds into the tuna so they don’t fall off easily.
