- Before serving, take thawed ahi steaks, and season with salt and pepper. Press sesame seeds into sides.
- Sear ahi in an already hot pan. To do this, place a tsp of oil in pan and heat, and place ahi down in hot pan. Watch for ahi to brown, this means the sugars in the meat have caramelized. At this point flip the ahi and sear the other side.
