Steps:

  • 1. Begin by seasoning the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Set aside. To make the sauce, put the coriander seeds and peppercorns into a small heavy-based saucepan set over a moderate heat and dry fry until they give off a tantalizing aroma. Now reduce the heat and the olive oil. Heat for a few seconds, then stir in the vinegar. Draw off the heat and set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  • 2. Mix the ingredients for the gremolata on a board and chop them together until they are very finely chopped. Put into a small bowl, cover and set aside until needed.
  • 3. To griddle the steaks, put a griddle pan over a high heat and leave for about 4 minutes. Brush the tuna steaks lightly with olive oil and lay them on the griddle pan. Cook for 1 ½ - 2 minutes on each side
  • 4. As they cook, stir the tomato dice into the sauce vierge and warm through if you wish (but do not let it boil). Lay the tuna on plates, spoon a little of the sauce vierge around and over them, then sprinkle with gremolata and serve with wedges of lemon.
