Outback Steakhouse Ahi Tuna Recipe

Outback's seared ahi tuna is all about that crisp crust and melt-in-your-mouth center!
Getting the right sear means starting with a blazing-hot pan and a quick cook time—just 30 seconds per side.
A good sesame seed crust gives it a nutty crunch that pairs so well with the fresh, buttery texture of the tuna.
The dipping sauce brings everything together, and the key is a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and just a hint of wasabi for some kick.
