Description
This Ruth’s Chris Ahi Tuna recipe delivers everything you love about the restaurant classic—fresh, sushi-grade tuna quickly seared with a sesame seed crust, then drizzled with a rich balsamic glaze and served over crisp greens. It’s elegant, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make at home in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
2 Sushi-grade Ahi Tuna Steaks (about 6 oz each)
3 tablespoons White Sesame Seeds
2 tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

1 cup Mixed Greens or Microgreens
1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for searing)
Instructions
1. Pat tuna steaks dry and lightly season with salt.
2. In a shallow dish, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Marinate tuna for 10–15 minutes.
