For optimal flavor, freshly grind the coriander and black pepper just before mixing the rub. Adjust the amount of pepper to suit your spice preference. Be careful not to overcook the tuna, as it can become dry. The center should remain slightly pink for the best texture. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side of your favorite greens or a light salad.

Mar 6, 2024Be careful not to overcook the tuna. It's best when it's still pink in the center.
