Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 4 large pieces for appetizer portion, 2 large pieces for dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble a miniature brick.
- Season the tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot as you can get it. Place the tuna in the pan, and sear on each side for about 45 seconds for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from pan. The tuna will be very rare.
- Slice each 'brick' into 1/4 inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or with the condiments of your choice.

EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER
I came up with this the first time I purchased an ahi tuna steak to make at home. For me, less is more when it comes to ahi because I really love the flavor of the fish. This recipe is super easy and it makes a great presentation over a baby spinach salad.

Steps:
- Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
- Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
- Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
- Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
- Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
- Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
- Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).

Tips:
- For the best results, use sushi-grade ahi tuna. This will ensure that the tuna is safe to eat raw and has a mild, delicate flavor.
- If you can't find sushi-grade ahi tuna, you can also use frozen ahi tuna steaks. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- To prevent the tuna from sticking to the grill, brush it with a little oil before cooking.
- Cook the tuna over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. The tuna should be cooked for about 2-3 minutes per side for a rare doneness, 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare doneness, and 4-5 minutes per side for a medium doneness.
- Let the tuna rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the tuna, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the tuna with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, wasabi, or ponzu sauce.
