Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Tuna

Pat the fresh tuna steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and season with sea salt and chili flakes.

Sear the Tuna

Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steak and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side for a rare center. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

Rest the Tuna

Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Garnish

While the tuna rests, chop the fresh cilantro and mint leaves. Mix them in a bowl with lime juice.

Serve

Slice the seared tuna into thin sashimi-style pieces. Arrange on a plate and top with the herb mixture. Drizzle with additional lime juice if desired.
