HOW TO MAKE SEARED TUNA WITH SESAME AND GINGER SALAD
Method
- Mix 3 tbsp of the sesame oil, the rice vinegar, honey and ginger together. Place the edamame beans, spring onions, carrot and radish in a bowl then pour over the dressing and toss to coat.
- Place the tuna on a plate and brush with the remaining sesame oil. Roll through the peppercorns and sesame seeds taking care not to coat the ends.
- Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and sear the length of the tuna for 2 minutes on each side until there is a 3mm ring around the edge.
- Remove from the pan, cool slightly, then thinly slice the tuna. Serve with the sesame & ginger salad.
