Tuna Steak with Brussels Slaw

This simple tuna steak is crusted with sesame seeds and served with an easy slaw, crunchy peanuts and cilantro.

Instructions

1. 1

   Add a small splash of tamari to the tuna, just enough to coat it lightly and then sprinkle the sesame seeds on both sides.

2. 2

   In a small bowl add the tamari, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, sesame oil and coconut sugar and whisk with a fork.

3. 3

   Heat a medium sized pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Add the tuna steak and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness and cooking preference. During the last 30 seconds of cooking, add half of the dressing and let it thicken. Remove the tuna and sauce and set aside. Turn the heat down to medium-low and place the pan back on the stove.

4. 4

   Add the brussels sprouts to the same pan and toss. Add the remaining dressing and cook for about 2 minutes, until just softened. Add the sprouts to a plate, and top with the tuna steak. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro. Enjoy!
