Preparation: Teriyaki Tuna Tataki with Sesame

Traditional method.

Peel the garlic cloves and remove the inner germ. Peel 1 inch of ginger root and finely chop it together with the garlic.
In a saucepan, pour the mirin and, over very low heat, bring it to a boil. Allow the liquid to reduce by half. Remove from heat.
Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved, then add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and the garlic and ginger mixture. Combine all the ingredients and return to the heat.
Continue cooking over low heat until the sauce is reduced by 1/3. Season with black pepper
Once the sauce has cooled, immerse the tuna fillet in it and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Then drain it and..
Coat it with sesame seeds on all sides,
pressing well to make the seeds stick.
Heat a skillet or a non-stick griddle over the stove, and once hot, place the fillet on it
A 14 oz fillet should cook for 2 minutes on each side, including the ends.
At the end of cooking, place the fillet on a cutting board and slice it; it should have a rare interior color.
Serve it with a side of vegetables of your choice and soy sauce.

Only when the sauce has cooled, immerse the tuna fillet in it and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Then drain it and..
