Ingredients

  • 2 (5 ounce) ahi tuna steaks
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns

Directions

  1. Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
  2. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.
