Method :
- About 1 hour before serving, peel the mangoes with a sharp

pieces, and put it in a small bowl. Add the chopped cilantro
and a pinch of salt
and mix well. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Lightly press 1/2 teaspoon butcher - grind black pepper
into one side of each tuna
steak. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the fish, pepper side
down, in a large non-stick skillet.
Cook on both sides over medium - high heat until the fish is
seared on the outside but still pink in the center. Cut the tuna
on the bias with a sharp knife into 1/2 inch slices.
- Mound mango
relish in the center of each plate. Arrange the tuna slices,
overlapping to form a circle around the relish. Garnish with fresh
cilantro
leaves.
