Step 1

Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the steak and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still rare the inside. Slice the tuna against the grain into 1/2 inch slices. Serve immediately.
