2 ripe mangoes, in 1/4 inch dice |
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus whole leaves for garnish |
1 pinch salt |
2 (6 ounce) fresh tuna steaks |
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper, divided |
salt |
Directions:
1. Mix the mango, cilantro and salt; chill for 30 minutes.
2. Press 1/2 tsp pepper into one side of each steak; season with salt; sear, pepper side down, in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; sear other side, leaving center of steak pink.
3. Cut each steak on the bias into 1/2 thick pieces; scoop the mango relish into the center of each serving plate; form a circle of overlapping tuna slices around the mango and garnish with cilantro leaves.
