    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

    • Step-by-step Method for Seared Tuna
    • Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.
    • Mix salt, cayenne pepper, and whole peppercorns in a small bowl.
    • Rub the dry seasoning blend evenly on both sides of each tuna steak.
    • Drizzle olive oil over the tuna steaks, coating both sides lightly.
    • Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until very hot.
    • While the pan heats, combine honey and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
    • When the skillet is hot, add the butter and remaining olive oil.
    • Place tuna steaks in the hot skillet; sear for 60-90 seconds per side for rare, or longer for desired doneness.
    • Remove seared tuna steaks from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes.
    • Pour honey-soy mixture into the still-hot pan and swirl for 10–15 seconds to deglaze and create a quick glaze.
    • Slice the rested tuna steaks against the grain into ½ inch thick slices.
    • Arrange slices on a plate; spoon glaze over the tuna.
    • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
    • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
