Crusted Tuna with Sesame-Tahini Red Cabbage

Step 1

Measure out about 6 packed cups of the cabbage (or more, if you prefer) and place in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Place all of the ingredients for the dressing into a bowl or food processor and mix until creamy. Taste and adjust, if necessary.

Step 3

Place the cabbage and scallions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with dressing. Toss to combine everything together and set aside.

Step 4

Place the sesame seeds in a shallow dish or plate and toss to mix together. Set aside.

Step 5

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil.

Step 6

Meanwhile, press one side of the tuna steak down into the sesame seed mixture and then turn over and repeat.

Step 7

Once oil is heated, add in the tuna steak, sesame seed side down. Sear for 1-2 minutes (depending on how well done you’d like it) and then flip over and cook another 1 minute. Remove the tuna and place on a cutting board. Slice thinly.

Step 8

Divide the cabbage onto plates and top with the tuna steak slices.
