Wife wanted a simple fish dinner but then said how about tuna? Ok, thawed some steaks, pulled together some spices for a rub and mixed up a dipping sauce. Dredged both sides of the tuna with the rub. Fried each steak for 15-20 seconds per side in a very hot CI skillet with a little oil. This yielded a very nice rare steak which Cyd loves. Next place the sliced tuna on a bed of spring mix with diced very sharp cheddar cheese, genoa salami and olives plus a dressing of choice. Hers was Balsamic, mine was Tuscan Italian. Add some wine for a very flavorful yet light dinner.
