2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

4 teaspoons dried oregano

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium lemon, cut into 4 wedges

Tuna

The best way to eat tuna steaks is by searing them. The center is raw, but you still get a nice brown top. Cook for about 11⁄2 minutes per side for rare; give it an extra minute for medium-rare.

1. Season the tuna steaks evenly with the salt, pepper, and oregano.
2. In a medium pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
3. Place the tuna steaks in the hot oil and sear for 11⁄2 minutes on each side.
4. Make sure that every corner has been seared. This will give you a rare temperature. Cook for another minute on each side for medium-rare.
5. Serve immediately, and squeeze lemon juice (from wedges) on steaks.
