- Step 3 In a very hot cast iron skillet sear the tuna steaks for 45 seconds in each side and 20 seconds on the borders, move the tuna to the fridge and let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 4 For the salad, start by prepping some of the garnishes, this is very simple, just get the yellow bell pepper remove the seeds and borders, then slice it finely. Then go ahead with the cucumber, peel it and make shavings lengthwise, save them for later.
