Tuna, 6-10 oz. fresh as market provides. The thicker the better. I like Ahi tuna pre-packaged and slightly frozen.
Seasoning, Old Montreal works well but you can use what ever you'd like.
Olive Oil, 1 tb.
Mango, 1 ripe, peeled and diced
Onion, small diced
lime, juice of 1
garlic, 2 cloves crushed
cilantro, 2-3 tb.
jalapeno, 1 small dice.(The heat comes from the seeds and ribs, remove if you'd like)

Steps:

Dredge or cover Tuna with seasoning. Pre-heat heavy pan until very hot. add olive oil. Quickly sear tuna, 2 minutes per side. Remove and place in fridge to cool.( If the tuna is slightly frozen it will keep it from over cooking. Tuna should be served rare) Combine mango, lime, onion cilantro, garlic and jalapeno. Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.(If mango is not ripe, saute along with onion until soft.) To serve, slice very thin and palce on plate, add mango salsa on side.
