Add tuna steaks and sear until brown outside and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer tuna steaks to platter.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH RUSTIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the mashed potato, cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, not too small. If they are large, quarter them and if they are small, halve them.
• Put the potato chunks in a large saucepan of boiling water, and simmer gently until they are absolutely tender - they should take about 25 minutes.
• When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and place back in the empty pan. Add the mayonnaise to the potatoes at this point and using a wooden spoon (not a masher or whisk) vigorously mash them. The finished mash should not be completely smooth, but a combination of creamy and chunky mash.
• For the tuna steaks, rub olive oil in to both sides then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a pan and chargrill for two minutes on each side.

• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Add eggplant, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer eggplant to a serving platter. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel.
• Rub tuna steaks with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Return skillet to heat, and raise to high. Cook, turning once, until browned but still pink in the center, about 5 minutes total. Cut each tuna steak in half; divide among four plates. Spoon sauce over tuna and eggplant, and serve.
