    Ingredients

    • 2 Yellowfin tuna steaks, about 5 lbs. each and 1.5" thick
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • ½ tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • Green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and lime wedges for serving

    Method

    • Grind or crush the peppercorns in a spice blender.
    • Season tuna steaks with a pinch of salt and some of the cayenne, honey, soy sauce, and olive oil.
    • Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
    • Place the tuna steaks in the pan, turning it halfway and reducing heat to medium when the first side is browned for about 3 minutes.
    • Drizzle the peppercorns over the tuna and shake the pan so that the beads fall uniformly over the fish.
    • Add the butter to the pan and tilt the pan away from you to keep the pepper beads from becoming too hot.
    • Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes.
    • Serving Suggestions: Sprinkle the sesame seeds and green onions over the tuna and serve with lime wedges.
