• 3. Combine cumin, cayenne, coriander, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over tuna pieces.
• 4. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. When very hot, add olive oil and swirl pan. Wait a few seconds for oil to heat up and then add tuna pieces. Sear 1-2 minutes. Flip. Sear another 1-2 minutes and remove at desired doneness to a plate.
