Herb-Seared Tuna

An excellent dish for two, this pan-seared tuna is very easy and quick to prepare. Make sure to buy high-quality, sushi (or sashimi) grade tuna, making sure it doesn't smell fishy. When cooked properly, the inside of the tuna is essentially pink and raw.

Ingredients

• 2 sushi-quality ahi tuna steaks (1 pound total)
  
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley

Instructions

1. Rub a little olive oil on the tuna and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Lay the tuna in the chopped herbs, making sure to cover all sides of the fish with the herbs.
3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil gets hazy, lay the herb-coated tuna in the hot pan and sear for approximately one minute on each side; as the tuna cooks, the red meat will become white. Make sure not to overcook.
   
4. Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and slice.

Serves 2. Eat them.
