Steps:
- Season the tuna with salt on both sides, then press the peppercorns into both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet until almost smoking. Add the tuna and lower the heat to medium. Sear the tuna until browned on the outside but still rare in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Thinly slice the tuna and fan the slices onto 4 plates. Serve immediately.

PEPPER SEARED TUNA STEAKS
This spicy pepper coating and asian-style sauce prove that you can't go wrong with the simplest of ingredients. Add a touch of chili-garlic paste to the sauce for a hint of fire. This recipe is altered from original Bon Appetit.

Steps:
- Combine black pepper and sesame seeds in bowl.
- Press tuna steaks into mixture, until coated.
- Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add tuna steaks and sear about 1- 1 1/2 minutes each side (I like mine rare in the center, longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).
- Transfer steaks to tented aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add a touch more oil to pan, then add soy sauce and sherry.
- Add garlic and most of green onion (reserving some of the tops).
- If too much has boiled off, add a bit of red wine if necessary.
- Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
- Spoon sauce over tuna steaks, and sprinkle remaining green onion on top.
- Note: if you want to make more of this sauce, it tastes fantastic, and goes great with rices, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc.
- In the photo, I cross-cut Italian bread, drizzled with olive oil and briefly toasted.

SEARED TUNA PEPPER STEAKS
A spicy pepper coating and an Asian-style sauce give these tuna steaks an intense flavor. Joan serves mashed or oven-roasted sweet potatoes alongside. Look for the sesame oil in the Asian foods section of the supermarket.
