Directions

  1. Whisk sesame oil, canola oil, and soy sauce together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add tuna steaks and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and dip in sesame seed mixture until well coated on sides and edges. Discard remaining marinade and seeds.
