Peppered Tuna With Mushroom Sauce

I found this recipe in a recent issue of Southern Living. It looks so incredible, I didn't want to take the chance of letting it slip away on me. If you are unable to find fresh tuna, you may substitute frozen (thaw first) which will work just fine. I hope you will enjoy this!
