Ingredients

  • servings garlic aïoli 
  • inch bamboo skewers 
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • 0.3 cup sesame seed white black toasted
  • 0.3 cup cilantro leaves fresh minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • skewers

Directions

  1. Soak bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes.
  2. Combine sesame seeds and next 3 ingredients in a shallow plate.
  3. Cut tuna against the grain to make 3-inch-wide x 1 1/2-inch-thick strips. Rub 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on all sides of tuna, and roll in sesame seed mixture.
  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tuna 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove from heat, and refrigerate immediately to stop fish from cooking. (Tuna should be rare in center.)
