Ingredients
- 2 pieces tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 300 grams green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the wasabi paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice until combined. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.
Step 3
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Gently press each side of the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds, coating them completely.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 5
While the tuna rests, prepare the green beans. Trim the ends of the green beans if needed.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic and oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 8
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the green beans steam for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Step 9
Plate the green beans alongside the sliced tuna steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy!
