- Heat the Skillet: Get your cast iron skillet hot and add the high-heat oil, waiting until it shimmers.
- Sear the Tuna: Sear the tuna on high heat without moving it until a golden sesame crust forms.
- Let It Rest: Once seared, let the tuna rest briefly before slicing it into thick slices against the grain.
Notes
Serve it alongside cold rice or vibrant salad greens. For holidays and special occasions, consider pairing it with zesty ice cream or a refreshing citrus sorbet.
