Pepper sauce

- 30 g (1 oz.) chopped shallots

- 3 g (1/2 tsp.) mixed pepper (1)

- 70 ml (5 Tbsp.) whisky

Method

Cut the tuna into 2 cm (3/4") slices; refrigerate.
Finely chop the shallots, then sweat them gently in butter; add a level half-teaspoon of the cracked pepper mixture.
Deglaze with the whisky and flambé; add the white wine and stock; reduce by half, then swirl in the butter and cream. Keep hot.
At the last minute, season the tuna generously with the cracked pepper mixture and with salt.
Sear the tuna in olive oil in a very hot pan for 30 seconds on each side so that the center remains blue-rare.
Slice the tuna steaks into 4 even slices and serve side by side on the plate with the sliced side showing, with a small dish of sauce on the side.

Sommelier

We recommend a Condrieu "La Petite Côte" 2004, Domaine Yves Cuilleron, with this dish.
