SEARED TUNA WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE

 
4 (8-ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

 Rinse the tuna steaks and pat them dry with paper towels. Rub them with the salt and coarse pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes on each side (or to taste). Spoon a pool of coconut curry sauce onto each plate, and set the tuna on top of the sauce. Serve immediately.
