Instructions: In a coffee grinder or spice grinder, coarsely grind the chiles and peppercorns together. Dredge the tuna steaks in the pepper mixture on one side only.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until it begins to smoke and cook the tuna, pepper side down, for 1 minute, or until a crust forms. Lower the heat to medium, turn the steaks, and cook for 3 minutes more. The fish should be rare. Season to taste with salt.

For each serving, place 1 steak on a plate, pepper-side up, with Spicy Mango Salsa to taste. Serve immediately.
