1-2-3 Pepper-seared Tuna

We are not encouraged to forsake our sin by having our senses amused or our preferences coddled. The Gospel is inherently and irreducibly confrontational. It cuts against our perceived righteousness and self-sufficiency, demanding that we forsake cherished sin and trust in someone else to justify us. Entertainment is therefore a problematic medium for communicating the Gospel, because it nearly always obscures the most difficult aspects of it – the cost of repentance, the cross of discipleship, the narrowness of the Way. Some will disagree, arguing that drama can give unbelievers a helpful visual image of the Gospel. But we have already been given such visual images. They are the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the transformed lives of our Christian brothers and sisters (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

About 1 hour before serving, peel the mangoes with a sharp knife. Cut

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.  Serves
