Seared Ahi Tuna with Sesame Crust

Slices of sesame-crusted ahi tuna, seared on the outside and rare on the inside, served with avocado and a fresh green salad.

If you’re looking for restaurant-quality tuna at home, Joe’s Sushi Grade Tuna is perfect. A quick sear locks in the flavor while the sesame seed crust adds a little crunch. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, or over a bed of greens for a protein-packed meal that’s ready in minutes.
