Instructions

Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine sesame seeds and olive oil. Press both sides of the tuna steaks into the sesame mixture to coat.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and grated ginger.
Remove the tuna from the skillet and serve with the ginger-soy glaze over fresh greens or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Serve with fresh greens or cauliflower rice for a light meal. For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the amount in the glaze.
