Here's what I've done before. Take a good, thick steak(1.5 to 2" thick)and dip each side in a mix of 1 part dark soy and 1 part molasses (sort of a home made teriyaki).Best if you can marinate the steak for 15 to 30 minutes. Dust each side with toasted sesame seeds . Heat a black iron skillet on med high heat. Toss in the steak and cook about a minute to a minute and a half per side. You want the steak rare to med rae in the middle.Easy and good. I use the same marinade for venison tenderloin for the grill.

I just use salt, pepper, and olive oil, then sear them on a very hot grill.

No idea where to buy it, but I would guess Fresh Market in RR would have it.

Thanks guys.

These all sound pretty good. I figured the simpler the recipie the better the steak would taste.

I see that a black iron skillet seems like a popular way to cook tuna. This may sound crazy, but could I use a George Forman grill if I don't have a skillet?

All of the methods suggested sound fine. For a side make some wasabi mashed potatoes!!!
