Make Dipping Sauce.  In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce (Yangnyeom Jang).  Mix until sugar is dissolved.  Set aside.

Korean Dipping Sauce (Yangnyeom Jang):

Prep Tuna Steaks.  Generously salt and pepper both sides of the tuna steak.  Add a thick layer of sesame seeds to each side, coating well so there&#39;s no red tuna visible on the top or bottom.  Gently pat the sesame seeds so they stick.

Heat skillet.  Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.  When the pan slightly smokes, add 1-2 tsp of oil (neutral oil like grapeseed or avocado oil) and swirl around in the pan.

Cook tuna steaks.  Add the tuna steaks to the hot pan, being careful of oil splatter.  Do not disturb!  Cook until the bottom is golden and crusty, about 1-2 minutes.  Flip and cook on the other side until golden and crusty, another 1-2 minutes.  Be careful not to overcook!  Depening on the thickness and size of the tuna steak, adjust the time -- adding more or less time, from as little as 45 seconds up to 2 full minutes per side Look for a red line in the middle that signifies it&#39;s rare in the middle.

Slice.  Transfer to a cutting board.  Slice thinly, against the grain, for tuna that&#39;s not too chewy or sinewy.

Assemble.  Add rice to two bowls.  Add sliced tuna.  Add avocado slices.  Drizzle Korean dipping sauce on top of the tuna.  Serve with more dipping sauce on the side.

Sesame Seared Tuna Steaks:

I agree with others. The dipping sauce is "crazy good."

Delicious! My side was roasted butternut squash instead of avocado, because I had some of use up. The dip was fantastic on the tuna, the squash, and the rice. Yum!

Yummy!!!! So delicious. The entire family loved it and I will be bringing this dish into our rotation. It was super easy to make. Because I was cooking for two picky kids I did sear each side for three minutes instead of two but the center was still rare and perfect. Thanks for a great recipe!

I was going to make my regular (yet stellar) poke bowls with marinaded tuna but I've been wanted to try sesame seared ahi for a long time so I made it this way instead. I followed the recipe and maaaaan, it is a hit! The dipping sauce is crazy good and pairs amazingly with the tuna. Goes into a poke bowl perfectly.
