User Comments:

- "The tuna was cooked to perfection, and the crispy exterior was a nice contrast to the tender meat."
- "I loved the simplicity of this dish. It was easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- To ensure the tuna is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The target temperature for medium-rare is 125°F (52°C).
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet or grill. However, the cast-iron will give the tuna a better crust.
- Let the tuna rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
