Sesame Crusted Tuna Steaks With Balsamic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

In a small sauce pan, heat sesame oil.
Stir in the green onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.
Add remaining ingredients and heat on medium until reduced by half.
Sprinkle the tuna with the pepper, salt, and sesame seeds.
Rub into meat to create crust.
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet set over medium high.
Add the tuna and cook until almost the desired degree of doneness.
The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
Two or 3 minutes on each side should result in a pink center.
Drizzle sauce over the tuna and serve immediately.
