olive oil
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Place bacon in a cold char-grill pan. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes to release the fat. Increase heat to high, add the wombok, char-grill 3-4 minutes each side or until tender, transfer to a plate. Return pan to the heat. Rub the tuna with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Char-grill for 2-3 minutes each side for rare or until cooked to your liking. Combine black sesame seeds, parsley, tomato and lemon juice with a little olive oil. Place the tuna on serving plate.
