For the romaine: Over high heat saute romaine ribs in olive oil until tender. Add anchovies and coriander. Finish by tossing with basil and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
For the tuna: Season tuna pieces with oil and salt and pepper evenly. Place seasoned tuna in spice mixture and coat evenly. Next, heat oil in a cast iron skillet until very hot. Add tuna and cook to desired doneness and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes. Slice each piece after resting.
Plating: Place braised romaine in center of plate. Next arrange warm tuna slices on top of romaine. Finish plate by drizzling warm juice around the plate. Serve.

Tips:

For the best results, use sushi-grade tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
If you don't have a sous vide machine, you can sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F.
To make the sesame sauce, simply whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey until smooth.
For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the sesame sauce.
Serve the seared tuna steaks immediately with the sesame sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
