Ingredients
1poundtuna steaks
½cupsesame seeds
2tablespoonsolive oil
Couscous Salad:
1cupuncooked couscous, makes two cups cooked
1small red onion, finely chopped
½cucumber, seeded and diced
½bunch of mint, chopped
1Tablespoonchopped basil
⅓cupdried cranberries
¼cuptoasted pine nuts
Salt
Instructions
Cook couscous according to package and then toss in veggies, cranberries, and pine nuts. Stir and keep refrigerated until needed.
To prep tuna, pour sesame seeds on a plate and press tuna steak into the sesame seeds to coat the steak well.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna once hot and sear for about 2.5 minutes per side. Then turn it for 30 seconds around the edges.
Let this sit for a few minutes before cutting so the meat relaxes a bit. Then slice in to 1/2 inch slices working against the grain. For me this was from the smallest tip back to the larger side.
