🧂 Ingredients

1 Take your block of Ahi Tuna and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a pepper mill,
crack enough Whole Black Peppercorns to coat every edge of the fish. Lightly
press it in to ensure it sticks. Sprinkle some salt on the fish.
2 In a very hot pan, add the Olive Oil, and a few seconds later add the fish.
3 I like to cook for about 1 minute on the first side, and just 30 seconds on the
second to keep the middle perfect, but if you want it more cooked, that’s
entirely up to you.
4 Let cool and then slice about 1/2 cm thick slices. This can be served as is, or
atop a light salad. If you would like a dipping sauce, I enjoy Ponzu sauce,
which is basically equal parts Soy Sauce and Lemon Juice with a little bit of
rice wine vinegar and Dashi.
