I liked this recipe a lot - the marinade was delicious and the sesame seeds added a great crunch. My only complaint is that the 'sauce' portion of the recipe made an absolute TON of sauce - enough for easily 10 times the amount of tuna we made. Can you change the sauce to be more proportionate to the tuna?

Barely sear on both sides. Should leave very rare in middle. [I posted this recipe.]
