Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 green onions (white and light-green part), finely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely grated ginger
1 1/2 pounds thick tuna steak
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

1. Mix vinegar and 2 tablespoons water with green onion and ginger in a bowl. Place tuna in mixture, and marinate about an hour. 2. To cook, remove tuna from marinade; set marinade aside. Press sesame seeds into both sides of tuna. Heat nonstick pan to medium, and add oil. Quickly sear tuna on both sides, just a couple of minutes -- seeds brown quickly. Remove tuna from pan, pour in reserved marinade, and bring to a boil. Pour over tuna, and serve.
