Tuna steaks are extremely versatile--there's no end to what you can do with them. They're great on the grill, with a little marinade.
If you have high-quality tuna (like sushi grade), it's best pan-seared. One recipe I've come across called for breading it with crushed wasabi peas before cooking. Normally, I would *not* recommend breading a tuna steak, but this was amazing! Another interesting twist is to sear the steak on both sides, slice thinly, and serve over baby greens with straw mushrooms and a wasabi/soy vinaigrette.
For lower-grade tuna, I often poach it in wine. Put it in a saucepan, fill it with white wine to about halfway up the sides of the steak, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side (longer if you like it well done). I usually throw in capers and chopped shallots, and serve with a lemon-butter sauce and capers.

If it's high quality tuna, sprinkle it with kosher salt and pepper and sear it in a little olive oil. Only cook it to medium or it will get tough and loose a lot of great flavor.

Grilled on a charcoal grill or broiled indoors. I'm a real purist when it comes to tuna, it has the most delicious flavor and I would suggest just serving it with lemon.

We marinate it in Wasabiyaki (buy it at the grocery store) and then grill it rare. Yum. Had it last night!
