The tuna is great but I LOVED the dipping sauce. I only cooked my tuna for 2 minutes per side. Might depend on how chilled it is too? But yeah, 3 minutes would be too long I think. Finding good Ahi is the challenge. If you have a good source, this is a great recipe to use it in.

I tried this recipe and the flavor of the sesame seeds and oil really stood out. Only problem is that cooking for 2.5-3 mins is very long especially if you like a very rare seared tuna steak, I cooked for that long and the tuna came out half cooked through... I'd recommend about 1-1.5 mins on each side maximum, although make sure to buy sushi grade tuna as undercooking may lead to increased risk for icky things... Enjoy!
