Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 tuna steaks (sushi quality)
  • 2 tbsp oil, neutral or seasoned cooking oil
  • 2 tsp pepper, whole (Szechuan pepper)
  • Salt (preferably fleur de sel)
  • Cayenne pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Wash the tuna steaks and pat dry. Crush the Szechuan peppercorns with a little cayenne pepper and salt in a mortar and pestle, then season the tuna with them. In my opinion, lemon or anything similar is absolutely unnecessary! Heat the oil in a griddle or regular pan and fry the tuna until it’s still noticeably raw. Serve with rice and salad.
