Red pepper-crusted tuna steak with spicy mango salsa

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 New Mexico red chiles
1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
½ cup Olive oil
6 Tuna steaks
Salt; to taste
6 tablespoons Spicy Mango Salsa; (see recipe),
Or to taste

Directions

In a coffee grinder or spice grinder, coarsely grind the chiles and peppercorns together. Dredge the tuna steaks in the pepper mixture on one side only. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until it begins to smoke and cook the tuna, pepper side down, for 1 minute, or until a crust forms. Lower the heat to medium, turn the steaks, and cook for 3 minutes more. The fish should be rare. Season to taste with salt. For each serving, place 1 steak on a plate, pepper-side up, with Spicy Mango Salsa to taste. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
