1/2 cup of black sesame seed (you can use black, white or both)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp orange juice
Optional 1 tbsp wasabi


Method
1.) coat sautee pan with light amount of olive or grapeseed oil bring to high heat
2.) salt and pepper tuna and the coat in sesame seeds
3.) seared tuna on both sides in hot pan for about 20 seconds on each side
4.) take out, slice thin and plate
5.) take soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon and orange juice and bring to a simmer, this is your dipping sauce you can serve it in a small dipping bowl i have even used shot glasses.
6.) Optional take wasabi and mix with water to desired thickness.

side notes: you can eat this with rice for carbs, I usually have it with a cucumber and carrot salad marinated in rice vinegar.

well you can go to a local fish market if you have one. I'm sure you could order a case of them vac sealed at a discount (i am thinking about doing so). but the other day when i made this i went down to wegmans and got them, they will do them fresh cut for you it really depends on where your from.
