Ingredients

Peppercorn Crusted Tuna

  • Four 6-ounce Tuna Loin Steaks
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil divided
  • Fresh Cilantro for garnish

Citrus Sichuan Peppercorn Crust

  • 2 tablespoons Sichuan Peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon Turbinado or Raw Sugar
  • Zest and freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Orange
  • Zest and freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Lemon
  • Zest and freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse Salt

Instructions

Citrus Sichuan Peppercorn Crust

  • Pulse-grind Sichuan peppercorns in a small grinder until coarse ground.
  • Add turbinado or raw sugar. Pulse to blend and slightly grind.
  • Combine zests of orange, lemon and lime in small mixing bowl.
  • Add ground Sichuan peppercorn-sugar mixture to zest.
  • Add coarse salt. Mix well. Set aside.

Peppercorn Crusted Tuna

  • Place large non-stick sauté pan over high heat.
  • While pan is heating, lightly coat tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon canola oil.
  • Lightly dust evenly with prepared citrus-Sichuan peppercorn crust. Do not overcoat.
  • When pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon canola oil to pan.
  • Immediately add tuna steaks. Cook evenly on both sides to create a well caramelized crust, about 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Remove from pan and transfer to small sheet pan to rest. Tuna is best done rare to medium-rare. For more well-done, finish off in a 375 degree oven.
  • Slice tuna steaks on bias.
  • Garnish with cilantro.
  • Serve immediately.
