Steps:
- Allow the tuna steak to come to room temperature by letting it stand for at least 20 minutes.
- Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle it liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides to get a nice even coating (about 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt for 8 ounces).
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the tuna steak and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still rare on the inside. The tuna will continue cooking while sitting. For a medium-rare tuna steak, the internal temperature should be 130 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest point.
- Cool for 2 minutes. Then slice the tuna against the grain into ½-inch slices and serve immediately, with the sauce if desired.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl add the juice of a lime, half as much olive oil, a teaspoon of chilli and salt. Mix well and leave to one side.
- Heat a griddle pan on the stove to a medium heat. Coat each tuna steak with spray oil and place on the griddle.

TUNA, CAPER & CHILLI SPAGHETTI
Throw together tuna, capers and rocket with garlic, chilli and spaghetti to make this easy and healthy supper. It takes just 25 minutes to make

Steps:
- Cook the spaghetti for 9-11 mins in a large pan of well-salted water until al dente.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a very low heat, and gently cook the garlic and chilli to infuse the oil. Remove from the heat if the garlic is turning past light golden, as this will make it bitter.
- Drain the pasta, keeping a cupful of the cooking water, and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan. Toss the pasta in the oil over a low heat, adding a little of the pasta water to emulsify into a sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the capers, parsley, tuna and some seasoning. Don't stir too vigorously - you want to keep larger chunks of tuna. Toss the rocket and lemon juice through the spaghetti, and serve with extra chilli scattered over, if you like.
