Seafood

4 6 ounce tuna steaks
4 bags Earl Grey tea
to taste salt & pepper

Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with Earl Grey tea.

Lightly grease a non-stick pan with oil and sear for a minute on each side.

Finish in broiler for an additional 2 minutes (rare-medium rare). Place tuna on cutting board.

Slice each tuna steak in half and and lean the pieces against each other so they are standing on serving dish.

For sauce, place all ingredients in a blender and puree. Season with salt.

In a small bowl, combine ginger candy, lime juice and olive oil.

Drizzle pesto around tuna and garnish with ginger candy mixture.
