Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
On a plate, combine black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds. Dredge the tuna steaks in the sesame seed mixture, pressing gently to ensure the seeds adhere to the tuna.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for about 1-3 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For rare tuna, aim for about 1 minute per side.
Step 5
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let rest for a minute.
Step 6
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the seared tuna steaks.
Step 7
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the tuna before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately either on its own or with a low-carb salad or steamed greens.
