This was the first time I had made tuna steaks - quite tasty! I couldn't find kumquats so I used a small orange, sliced with the peel, to top the steaks while they were cooking. With the fresh cilantro, it smelled wonderful while it was cooking.

This was wonderful, just be very careful not to overcook the tuna.

This recipe was sort of a disappointment. Perhaps I didn't watch it too closely, but the steaks came out too dry.
