1
Prepare the Tuna
Coat the yellowfin tuna steaks with crushed black peppercorns. Ensure that both sides are evenly coated. Season with salt to taste.
2
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper-crusted tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
3
Sauté the Mushrooms
Remove the tuna from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Plate the Dish
On each plate, place a portion of the sautéed mushrooms, top with the seared tuna, and drizzle generously with mole amarillo sauce. Garnish with lime.
