Pepper Crusted Ahi Tuna

A pretty simple recipe. First, stick a skillet on the stove until it is super hot. Rub a small amount of salt and a large amount of cracked pepper all over a good chunk of fresh ahi tuna. Add several tablespoons of sesame oil to the hot skillet, and drop the fish steak. Cook until you can't stand the smoke and you get hungry, about 3-4 minutes per side depending on how thick the cut is, and how tasty (i.e. raw) you want your fish.

Remove from the heat, and cover tightly. Quickly add soy sauce and cooking sherry in a 1 to 3 ratio to the skillet, which will bubble tremendously. Toss in some chopped green onions and cook until the sauce is thickened (only a matter of minutes if the pan is hot). Drain the sauce on the fish and serve immediately with roasted yams, broccoli, and radicchio. Enjoy.
