Use high-quality, sushi-grade tuna for the best and safest experience. The steaks should be firm and bright red. Do not overcook the tuna! The goal is to achieve a rare to medium-rare center. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sesame seed mixture. Serve with a side of steamed rice and a vibrant seaweed salad for a complete and balanced meal.
