Ahi Tuna And Baby Shrimp Ceviche Wpapaya Salad And Coconut Recipes

EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER

Steps:

• Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
• Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
• Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
• Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
• Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).
