Tent platter loosely with foil to keep tuna steaks warm. Add soy sauce, then Sherry to same skillet.

Steps:
- Combine black pepper and sesame seeds in bowl.
- Press tuna steaks into mixture, until coated.
- Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add tuna steaks and sear about 1- 1 1/2 minutes each side (I like mine rare in the center, longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).
- Transfer steaks to tented aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add a touch more oil to pan, then add soy sauce and sherry.
- Add garlic and most of green onion (reserving some of the tops).
- If too much has boiled off, add a bit of red wine if necessary.
- Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
- Spoon sauce over tuna steaks, and sprinkle remaining green onion on top.
- Note: if you want to make more of this sauce, it tastes fantastic, and goes great with rices, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc.
- In the photo, I cross-cut Italian bread, drizzled with olive oil and briefly toasted.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna steaks you can find. Look for steaks that are firm and have a deep red color.
- Pat the tuna steaks dry before searing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the tuna steaks liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy and flavorful.
- Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Seared tuna pepper steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can create a perfect tuna steak that is sure to impress your friends and family.
