powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub butter
over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices
onto fish.

Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works great) over high heat

medium-rare. In this dish, searing dry heat chars a spice crust onto
the fish."
