Tuna with lime, coriander and sea salt rub

Method

1. Pound the chilli, sea salt, peppercorns, lime zest and coriander seeds using a pestle and mortar.

2. Brush the tuna with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle the rub onto a plate and press the steaks into the mixture.

3. Cook the tuna on the barbecue or in a non-stick frying pan, for 1 - 2 minutes on each side, or according to preference.

4. Serve with a tomato salad and buttered ciabatta.

Cook's note: if you do not have a pestle and mortar, put the ingredients in a freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
