Ingredients

2 (6 oz) Ahi tuna steaks
2 tbsp coarsely cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season all sides evenly with kosher salt.
Spread the coarsely cracked black pepper on a plate or cutting board. Press the tuna steaks firmly into the pepper to coat the exterior evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and almost smoking.
Sear the tuna for 1 to 1.5 minutes per side for rare, or up to 2 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the heat, let them rest for 2 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain and serve immediately.
