INGREDIENTS
1 pound sashimi grade yellowfin tuna
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
With a sharp knife, cut the tuna into 4 large pieces for appetizer portion, 2 large pieces
for dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because
not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble
a miniature brick.
Season the tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread
crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot
as you can get it. Place the tuna in the pan, and sear on each side for about 45 seconds
for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from pan. The tuna will be very rare.
Slice each 'brick' into 1/4 inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or
with the condiments of your choice.
