Pepper Tuna

Directions

1. 1
   Lightly coat each tuna fillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, using your fingers to spread it out evenly.
2. 2
   Season the tuna fillets lightly with salt.
3. 3
   Spread the pepper out on a clean dry surface and roll the tuna fillets in the pepper, pressing down to make sure that it adheres to the fish.
4. 4
   Warm the remaining olive oil in a pan large enough to hold the tuna over medium-high heat.
5. 5
   When the oil is hot, add the tuna fillets.
6. 6
   Sear on all sides, about 90 seconds for each of 4 sides or longer for more well done.
7. 7
   Remove the tuna from the pan, slice each fillet into 3/4-inch slices, divide among 4 dinner plates, drizzle with the lemon juice, and serve at once.
