- 2 lbs sushi grade ahi tuna steaks
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.33 C sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder

1. Combine soy sauce and sesame oil in a shallow dish and coat the ahi on all sides. Let the ahi sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while preparing the sesame crust.
2. Mix sesame seeds, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt on a plate. Place the ahi steaks on the sesame seed crust mixture and press firmly to get the crust to stick. Coat all sides.
3. Heat skillet over medium heat, and when its blazing hot, add a little neutral oil to the pan and then carefully add the ahi. Cook undisturbed for 45-60 seconds until they get a nice seared crust. Flip and repeat the process on the other side and then remove.
