Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp. salt1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 (6-oz) ahi tuna steaks, about 1 1/2-inches thick (ask for "sear" or "sushi" grade if cooking medium rare)
4 tbsp fresh coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbs. vegetable oil
1 lemon (quartered)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the salt, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper.Lay the tuna steaks out on a plate, and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides.
Then coat the tuna on both sides with the black pepper, and gently press it in so that it adheres to the surface, being careful not to smash the flesh.
Place a thick-bottomed frying pan, or cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat, until very hot.
Add the oil, and sear the tuna steaks for about 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
Serve with fresh lemon.
