If you guys know me at all you know I love cold brew, broccolini and all things sushi related. 🙂 I know pan seared tuna isn’t EXACTLY sushi, but it is pretty darn close! It has all those same flavors I absolutely LOVE and this is my new favorite way to eat it!
This yummy bowl of goodness comes together so easily – you need to try it ASAP!
How Long to Cook Pan Seared Tuna
This will ultimately depend upon how well-done you want your steak and how thick your steak is, BUT if you are using around a 1/2-1 inch tuna steak and want it rare, then you will want to cook it for 30-45 seconds per side! I did a whole blog post about searing tuna steaks (and it talks all about how to pick out the best and safest kind of tuna to eat!!!). Check out the post here!
The Best Tuna Steak Seasoning
The best tuna steak seasoning is salt and pepper, in my humble opinion! I love the taste of tuna and I really don’t think it needs much more than that! Of course some sesame seeds
