Steps:
- Pat dry tuna steak and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a pan over medium heat and add drizzle of oil.
- Mix black and white sesame seeds and sprinkle half of mix on one side of steak. Press the seeds onto the steak so they stick. Do the same with the other side.
- Once pan and oil are hot place the steak on pan and sear for 2-3 minutes. You want to just barely see the bottom of the steak cooked. If you prefer your tuna more cooked, leave on for additional 1-2 minutes. Flip steak over and sear another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove steak from pan and thinly slice into strips.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat tortilla by preferred method. You can use a skillet or pan that has been over medium-high heat and when skillet is very hot, add tortilla to heat through for 30 seconds-1 minute depending on the heat level of your stove. Flip halfway through.
- Assemble tacos by adding tuna strips to tortillas and topping with slaw, mango, and wasabi sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!

SEARED TUNA WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
- Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
- Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.
BLACKENED TUNA STEAKS WITH MANGO SALSA
Steps:
- Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl. Rub the tuna steaks with the mixture. Place the steaks in a sealable container and chill in refrigerator 3 hours.
- Combine the mango, bell pepper, Spanish onion, green onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; stir. Add the lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and toss to combine. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
- Stir together the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator and gently rinse with water and then dip each side of each steak in the spice mixture to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently lay the tuna steaks into the hot oil. Cook the tuna on one side for 3 minutes; remove to a plate. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the skillet and let it get hot. Lay the tuna with the uncooked side down into the skillet and cook another 3 minutes; remove from heat immediately.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mango salsa onto each of 4 plates. Lay the tuna steaks atop the salsa and serve immediately.
