Directions
Rub the sesame seed oil onto the tuna; then coat with black and white sesame seeds. Refrigerate it on a covered plate for 15 minutes.
In a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan set to medium-high heat coconut oil for about 60-90 seconds––just before scorching.
Transfer the tuna from the refrigerator into the pan and sear it on each side for 45-60 seconds.
Remove the seared tuna from the pan and refrigerate it on a covered plate again until you are ready to serve.
Add beer to deglaze the pan. Cook until it is reduced by ½ and add it to the sauce.
Reduce your Tincture to MBO over low heat in a small non-stick pan until thick and syrupy in consistency. Add soy and honey and set it aside.
Placed all the ingredients into your MagicalButter machine and secure the head.
Press the Temperature button and select 160°F/71°C; then press the 2 Hours/Butter button.
Pour the sauce into serving dish.
Serve and enjoy your Tao Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna with Wasabi Soy Citrus Sauce!
