For best results, use high-quality, sushi-grade tuna steaks. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. Do not overcook the tuna; it is best served medium-rare to maintain its tenderness and flavor. A sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving will enhance the flavors.
