Pesto Tuna

Tuna
2 tuna steaks
thyme
red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
olive oil

Pesto
1 bunch basil
1 tbsp. pine nuts
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup parmesan
salt and pepper
olive oil

Grind the pesto with a morter and pestle. Start with salt, garlic, and pine nuts. Next, add the basil as space permits. Next, add the parmesan cheese. Finish by streaming in olive oil until you reach desired consistency. This can also be done in a food processor for a quicker alternative.

Combine all the Tuna ingredients in a bowl with a spoonful of pesto. Toss and let the tuna marinate for 20 minutes. Heat the grill to really high heat. Sear the tuna for 30 seconds per side. Slice thinly and serve with the fresh pesto.
