👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. For an extra crust, you may roll the edges in sesame seeds if desired.
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Carefully place the seasoned tuna steak into the hot pan.
3. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on thickness and desired doneness. The edges should be well-browned and crispy, while the center remains pink.
4. Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 2-3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
5. Slice the seared tuna into thick medallions and serve immediately with your preferred sides, such as a fresh salad, rice, or roasted vegetables.
