Prepare Broccoli and Rice
- While the tuna is marinating, steam broccoli on the stove or in the microwave.
- Prepare rice by cooking it on the stove with water, in a rice cooker/pressure cooker, or using microwavable rice.
- Mix cooked jasmine rice with cauliflower rice to add more fiber and bulk. You can use frozen or fresh cauliflower rice.

Cook Ahi Tuna
- When broccoli and rice are almost ready, begin to cook the ahi tuna. Heat up a cast iron skillet on the stove to high heat. When very hot, brush the marinated steaks with sesame oil.
