Step 1
Pat the 1 lb tuna steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
Step 2
Sear the tuna for 1 minute per side until the outside is browned but the center remains rare. Remove from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 3
While the tuna rests, peel and slice the 1 mango into thin strips. Cut the 0.5 cucumber into thin matchsticks.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Add the 1 cup bean sprouts, mango, and cucumber, and toss gently.
Step 5
Slice the tuna thinly against the grain. Arrange the tuna slices over the mango-cucumber salad and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Serve immediately.
