PAN-SEARED SESAME-CRUSTED TUNA STEAKS WITH AVOCADO ORANGE SALSA
This recipe is from the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. It is a delicious light recipe that comes together very quickly. Leave the tuna pink in the center for the best flavor. For an alternative preparation omit the sesame seeds and press 1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns onto each side of the oiled tuna steaks before cooking.
