Seared Ahi Tuna with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Coat the ahi tuna steak on all sides with sesame oil. This will act as a binder for the seasoning.

On a plate, combine the crunchy everything seasoning and the blackened seasoning. Mix them together.

Press the oil-coated tuna steak firmly into the seasoning mixture, ensuring an even, thick crust on all sides.

Preheat a skillet over high heat.

Add the high-heat cooking oil to the hot skillet.

Carefully place the crusted tuna steak in the hot pan.

Sear the tuna for approximately 30-60 seconds on each side. The goal is to cook the outside while leaving the center rare.

Once seared on all sides, remove the tuna from the pan and place it on a clean plate.

Chill the seared tuna in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make it easier to slice.

While the tuna chills, prepare the dipping sauce by combining Thai peanut sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.

Remove the chilled tuna and, using a sharp knife, slice it against the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Serve the sliced ahi tuna with the peanut dipping sauce.
