Seared Sesame Wasabi Ahi - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 ahi tuna steak
    1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
    1 tablespoon wasabi powder
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 tablespoon honey
    1/4 tablespoon sesame oil
    1/4 tablespoon peanut oil
    sliced green onion
    1 lime wedge
Preparation
    Rinse tuna steak and pat dry.
    Combine sesame seeds, wasabi powder, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil in a shallow pan. Add steak, turning to coat both sides. Let marinate for 10 minutes, then turn and marinate for 10 minutes more.
    Heat peanut oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for a nice sear on the outside and a rare middle or 3 minutes for medium-rare.
    Top with a sprinkle of green onions, if desired, and a squeeze of lime.
