1 tbsp Poppy Sead
1/2 cup Pistachios shelled
4 tbsp 4 Tbsp of bread Crumbs
1/2 cup Sundry Tomatoes
1/2 tsp 1/2 Tsp Salt
Directions
- For the Pistachio Poppy Seed Crust:
- Pat dry the sundry tomatoes with a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Place them in a food processor. Add the shelled pistachios and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined.

- For the Tuna Steaks:
- Pat dry the tuna steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the Extra virgin Olive oil in a plate or bowl and coat the tuna steaks generously.
- Transfer them into the pistachio mixture and press each side of the tuna steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cooking:
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat
- Once the pan is hot, add a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the coated tuna steaks into the pan and cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
