Pan Seared Tuna

This is an easy, GREAT meal. We are fortunate that sometimes friends say “Here, have some tuna.” Life in a beach town!

Ingredients

Tuna steaks

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 TBS black peppercorn

1 TBS Olive Oil

1 TBS margarine (we like Earth Balance soy)

Directions

Semi-grind the peppercorns so some are whole, some are chopped. Two or three pulses.

Heat up oil and margarine, toss in peppercorns, medium high heat, listen for them to pop, but don’t burn the margarine.

Sprinkle salt and cayenne on the steak(s).

Toss tuna into the hot pan, cook for about a minute (or two, depending on size) on each side. The goal is to look like the photo. It doesn’t take much.

Bingo, you’re done. Great taste, low effort. Our best tuna yet.
