  • Wash and disinfect the lettuce and mint. Dry the lettuce well and place it in a deep bowl.
  • In a small deep bowl, mix the vinaigrette, which consists of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix the vinaigrette with the lettuce and mint.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and mix with the lettuce.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with vegetable spray.
  • Place the coarse pepper in a plastic bag and crush it with a hammer.
  • Press the thick top side of the tuna fillets into the pepper and place them in the skillet. We only want to sear the tuna, so it's necessary to cook it for about 1 minute on each of the 4 sides of the fillet.
  • Remove the tuna from the skillet and slice it.
