Ingredients

For the Asian Ginger Dressing:

For the Tuna:

▢ 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
▢ ½ Tablespoon honey
▢ 1 Tablespoon cooking oil (divided)
▢ 2 tuna steaks (about 4 - 6 oz each)
▢ 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
▢ 3 cups mixed salad greens

Instructions

For the Asian ginger dressing:

In an 8 oz. glass jar or larger, combine the garlic, ginger, cooking oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and water.
Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake well.
Remove the lid, and heat the jar in the microwave for 30 – 45 seconds, just to dissolve the honey.
Let cool, and shake well before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator with the lid in place.

For the tuna steaks:

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey and 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil.
Coat the tuna steaks with the soy sauce mixture.
Then press the sesame seeds on both sides of the steaks to coat.
Preheat 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until very hot.
Place the tuna steaks in the pan, cover with a mesh splatter screen and sear for about 30 seconds on each side.
On a cutting board slice the tuna into thin slices.

To assemble the salad:

Place the salad greens onto two plates, divided evenly.
Top each with half of the thin sliced tuna steaks.
Generously drizzle each salad with the Asian Ginger Dressing.
