Searing the tuna well on the outside but leaving it rare on the inside gives you a lovely contrast between the two textures. That said, if you like your tuna cooked through, the salad will still be delicious.

Steps:
- Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
- Whisk together olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger.
- Combine coriander seeds, white peppercorns, and kosher salt in a small bowl.
- Rub vegetable oil all over tuna, then coat with spice mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
- Oil grill rack, then grill tuna, covered only if using a gas grill, turning onto all sides, until seared on all sides but still very rare inside, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer tuna to a cutting board and cut across the grain into 8 slices.
- Julienne jicama using an adjustable-blade slicer fitted with 1/8-inch julienne attachment or using a knife.
- Toss watercress and jicama with enough dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper.
- Serve tuna over salad, sprinkled with scallions. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
