Step 1
Allow the tuna steak to come to room temperature by letting it stand for at least 20 minutes.
Step 2
Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat the 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 on the inside. The tuna will continue cooking while sitting. For a medium-rare tuna steak, the internal temperature should be 130°F when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest point.
Step 4
Cool for 2 minutes. Then slice the tuna against the grain into ½-inch slices and serve immediately.
