Tuna With Sesame Crust and Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

Yield :4 servings

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 green onions (white and light-green part), finely chopped

2 tablespoons coarsely grated ginger

1½ pounds thick tuna steak

4 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 tablespoon oil

Directions:

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.

TIP: Tuna will be very rare. For better done, cook it without sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the tuna after cooking.
