Preparation
Prepare Tuna: Pat the tuna steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Press sesame seeds onto all sides of the tuna to coat evenly.
Cook the Tuna: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for about 1 minute per side, or until your desired doneness, keeping the center rare if preferred. Remove and let rest before slicing. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and fry the egg until whites are set but yolk remains runny, about 2–3 minutes.
Serve: Arrange mixed greens in a bowl. Top with sliced cucumber, avocado, diced mango, and cilantro. Lay the sliced tuna over the greens. Place the fried egg alongside. Drizzle with olive oil and a small splash of coconut aminos if desired. Serve immediately.
