- Prepare the pico de gallo: Toss the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl and let rest for up to 1 hour before serving. Reserve.
- If you like, generously pepper the tuna on both sides and pat down lightly.
- Place the extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sear the tuna for 5 min on the first side, or possibly till lightly browned. Turn and cook on the other side for 3 min, or possibly till cooked through to desired doneness. Let rest for a minute or possibly 2 before serving.
